Examples for Children
“In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.” Proverbs 14:26 (ESV)
A man without Christ is easily weakened without resolve, influencing his children to more likely grow up doubting God. Generally speaking, a child grows to mimic his parent’s attitudes toward the things that matter most to them. When dad expresses a healthy and humbling respectful fear of the Lord, it impacts children and grandchildren with an example of lifelong assurance that the Lord is their refuge, too.
Let’s pray today that we may be good examples of belief in Christ for our children and youth.
