A boy was given a world globe for his birthday. He liked it so much that he kept it beside his bed. One night his father wanted to study the globe. Thinking that his son was asleep, he tiptoed into his room, picked up the globe, and started for the door. He had just reached it when the child sitting up in bed, called out, "Hey Dad, What are you doing with my world?" That's a good question for us as parents. What are we doing with our children's world? It's a great privilege, and responsibility to make it the best place possible, for their development.
As parents, we ask the question: How can we do this?
Here are three answers from God's Word.
1. BE APART OF THEIR WORLD
(Proverbs 4:1)
2. ESTABLISH THEM IN THEIR WORLD
(Ephesians 6:4)
3. BE AN EXAMPLE TO THEM IN THEIR WORLD
(2 Chronicles 7:17-18)
(Radio Bible Class - Our Daily Bread & Outline)
So what are we doing with our children's world?
Are we very much apart of it? Are we working to affirm their worth, their self-esteem?
Are we being a good example to them?
Read Psalm 127:3-5
Is your life a shining witness,
With a testimony true?
Could the world be won to Jesus,
Just by what they see in you?
Dads, do our children see Jesus in us?
Have a great Father's Day! GP
