Genesis
48: 9 AMP
"Joseph
said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here [in
Egypt]." So he said, "Please bring them to me so that I may bless
them."
Teach your children.
We rely on the government and schools and Sunday schools to teach our
children. As parents, we need to instill character and conviction. "Only be
careful, and watch yourself closely so that you do not forget the things your
eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them
to your children and their children after them." Deuteronomy 4: 9 I am
sure that the Lord is going to hold me responsible.
Discipline.
When it comes to training, I believe it is vital because the children are
learning boundaries. When I say no, then they know it's not going to happen. I
think this helps them in their lives to say no, to others. Proverbs 19 verses
18, "Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing
party to his death."
Blessings.
It's not something we usually do, but it is important to bless our
children. I wish I knew this when I was a young mother. I would bless my
children every day and ask the LORD to bless them too. I think if Joseph
blessed Jacobs's children, then we should do the same. I want my children to
have peace in their lives, prosperity, and long lives. The devil will do
whatever it takes to stop us from blessing our children. Let us bless our
children today.
Example:
We need to set an example to our children, they are watching us. Let do
the best we can so they may learn from us. I know I'm not perfect, but I can do
my best and pray the Lord will guide my children going forward.
Prayer
Lord, I want to commit my children, stepchildren, and grandchildren into
Your hands today. I realize they are all adults and living their own lives
right now. I want to pray for wisdom, insight, and understanding. Lord, I want
to pray that You will bless each one of them in whatever they decide to do.
Give them open doors for excellent and prosperous opportunities. Let Your face
shine on each one of them and let no harm come to them. I draw a hedge of the
blood of Jesus Christ around each one. In Jesus name, amen
