« Search for the LORD and His strength. Always seek His presence »
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
NKJV « Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them” »
AMB « Remember [thoughtfully] also your Creator in the days of your youth [for you are not your own, but His], before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say [of physical pleasures], “I have no enjoyment and delight in them”; »
The above passage says that the best time for anyone to remember God is when they are young.
The best time for your children to seek Him is when they are young.
God says in Proverbs 8:17 NKJV
« I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me »
- Tell your children to seek God early, before it is too late for them to find Him.
Some young people say they will start seeking God after they have amassed material wealth.
- Let them know that you cannot truly ‘make it’ in life without your Maker.
What the world calls ‘making it’ is only a façade.
Many people who seem to have ‘made it’ look good on the outside, but inside, they are battling some terrible things.
Urge your children to start seeking God now so that they can really be successful in life. Hebrews 11:6CEV says
«…..and He rewards everyone who searches for Him »
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
In other words, if you don’t seek Him diligently, don’t expect any reward.
« The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing »
- You have to teach your children that every good thing that they can ever want is in the Lord.
- Teach your children to seek the Lord and they will never lack any good thing.
- Teach them how to study the Bible.
It is a pity that many people do Bible Study when they get to Church, but at home they rush the devotion.
- You have to teach them how to dig deep into the Scriptures and get revelations as they read their Bible.
- Teach them how to pray.
Teach them to ask God for whatever they want before they come and ask you.
That is how you build in them the zeal to speak to God.
Application – Teach your children to seek Cod.
