And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.  (Isaiah 54:13, KJV)

There is a saying that goes "when you know better, you do better!"  I believe the scripture in Isaiah is back-up for this saying.  When our children are taught God's commandments as what to live by; they do better.  When the law of the Lord is what governs their life and they abide by the rules of the Ruler of all; they do better.  When our children seek to do the will of God and not the will of the flesh; they do better...they are better!

Our responsibility as parents is to first make sure that we're following the ways of the Lord and we're not just preaching it; we're practicing it.  Our failure to teach our children the ways of the Lord, may jeopardize the promise of peace for them. 

Thank you Lord for giving us Your Word as a guide for our lives.  We have instructions for living which we can teach our children.  Your will and Your word are life for us and we receive them with open arms.  Continue to teach us Your ways...in Jesus name, Amen!
