The depth of our children is rich. Rich with color. God's hand is upon them and His heart embraces them. He tells us that we are to teach our children. In Dueteronomy 11:18-21, the Lord tells us that the most important thing we are to teach our children are His ways.
"Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Duet. 11:19
He tells us clearly here in verses 18-20, that we are to fix His word in our hearts as parents and fix it in our thoughts. He wants us to keep our actions, (our hands), in His word and always before us. This is to be a living example to our children.
"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads." Duet 11:18
He makes it clear that we are also to write His word on the 'doorframes' and 'gates' of our homes. This means the entrance of our home, the entrance of our children's lives, and the entrance of our children's heart. It is His desire that we let nothing in our lives or our children's lives that does not pass through His word!
I take this seriously. It is the Lord's desire that we fill our homes with His word and teach it to our children. Educating our children should be filtered through what we believe. Homeschooling our children should be established on the foundation of faith. Our faith in God's word and His ways is the strength of our children's education. As parents we have a promise that our children will grow in the wisdom and the stature of the Lord! I want nothing less for my children who are dearest in my life! If we follow Dueteronomy 11:18-21 as parents the Lord promises us that;
"...your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give... as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth!" Duet 11:21
The foundations of a great homeschool is our faith!
God bless,
