And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. — 2 Timothy 3:15 KJV
And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. — 2 Timothy 3:15 NIV
Thought and Reflection
If you were blessed with a godly mother who brought your child into this world, surrounded by the faith in Jesus and the stories of the Bible and lullabies that sounded like faith, then thank God and be grateful to her. If not, take a vow that your children as well as your grandchildren will get this chance to start their lives.
It is true that personal faith can be developed in the adolescent years or later, but starting with the infant is an amazing gift. Filling a child’s life with hope, love and faith because of Jesus is the most precious gift that a parent could give.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, I am so grateful to You for the wonderful gift of parents who believe in God. I pray that those of us who are believers are active in sharing beliefs with children.
Please help make the home of my children and myself one that children and grandchildren feel comfortable in their faith and secure to celebrate the gospel of Jesus. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
