Brothers, today I’m praying that we would be living for eternity and that our children would come to know that they are eternal souls. I pray that we can represent God and His eternal Kingdom well and that they would be more esteemed than the things of this temporary world.
“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”
Mark 8:34-38 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/mrk.8.34-38.ESV
“Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.”
Psalm 34:11 ESV https://www.bible.com/59/psa.34.11.esv
Fear God
“He is an awesome God. He dwells in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16). He is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). He makes mountains smoke (Psalm 104:32). He makes the waters divide. He created man from the dust. He gives life and breath to every living thing. And He has condescended to speak to us. If we do not fear God, then we cannot raise a generation to fear Him.”
