I’m taking the Dave Ramsey financial course and it talks about including your children and teaching them how to save. I’ve learned if I include my children in the process then they understand vs. me just telling them how and never showing them examples.
This got me to thinking, do I include my children in prayer or do I just tell them to pray; after all, I am the preacher. Sure my kids have seen me pray and have heard me pray numerous times, but how many times have I included them and said, today the family is depending on your prayers for us. Or, have I set them down and explained prayer to them? Or, did I think it was the Sunday school teacher’s responsibility to teach my children how to pray and have a prayer life? When I include them they begin to understand the power of prayer and it gives me a confidence to know, if they ever need the Lord, need help, get in a jam, etc… Then they don’t have to wait on me, they can pray for themselves.
God said he uses the foolish things to confound the wise. Here I am learning about money, and it led me right to prayer. So, if you’re like me and have not been including your kids in the important things of God like you should or as much as you should; today is a good day to start.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
