2 | How does Deut. 4:9 relate to my life? | Josh 22:5 | Mommapbs | 28616 | ||
Deut. 4:9 "Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your sons and your grandsons." First things first! Pay attention to YOUR relationship with God. It is your walk that others watch and validates the things that you say! How God has blessed you, what He has done, is secondary to your obedience to Him FIRST! (This is "keeping your soul diligently!")See also Joshua 22:5. Things that we have seen can be blessings of obedience and the consequences of disobedience. These are both important truths to communicate to others, especially our children. "Children obey your parents;" Husbands love your wives," and ohter relational commands are not suggestions! God gives us families to practice the kind of relationship He wants to have with us. We come to know Him not only through His Word, but also through our experiences with Him. As we trust and obey Him in little things, He gives us bigger assignments. The purpose of these is not only to know Him but TO MAKE HIM KNOWN! As a parent or grandparent or friend, we have a sobering responsibility in our walk with the Lord to come to know and love Him. (If you love me you will keep my commandments John 14:15 also 1 John 5:3) As our love for Him grows, so will the burning desire grow within us for others to know and share in that same love. God's love is made complete in us when we love others! I'm sure you have people in your life who are perhaps more difficult to love than others. Trusting God to enable you to love them unconditionally will affect your responses to them. These are the actions that others will see. When they SEE God's love at work in your life, this is a way that you hand down what you have seen to your children! I hope this gives you something to think about - it did me while I considered your question, for I'm not only a mother but a grama too! |
