God’s Children | December 3
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come…
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.
Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh, for childhood and youth are vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:1;11:9-10
Father, when we are young, You advise that we remember You, that we store Your words in our hearts, because, as adults, evil days lay ahead.
Help us assist our children in getting to know You now, while they are still young, before they face temptation on every side. Help us equip them with Core Christian Values (Go to Family Bible Studies on the solascriptura site). We know if they have a solid foundation to lean upon they will, by the power of the Holy Spirit, be much more able to resist evil.
Even though childhood and youth may be “vanity”, during these wonderful years when their smiles melt our hearts and their innocence charms us, prepare their hearts to serve You and to trust You in all things. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
