Be Still ~ Family, Remember God's Words

Remember God’s Words
Deuteronomy 18-19
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children,speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,…"

The first thing that comes to my mind about Being STILL with family is being a living example of what that looks like.  When are you STILL with the Lord? and is your family able to watch you?  Then, when you sit down to eat, make lunch or breakfast, walk the dog, drive in the car, go on a walk, do homework, having an argument, ...whatever it is...then when you ask them to pray or give gratitude...they have seen you with your God.  Your God is their God too!  Just as we saw Jesus with his disciples… we are able to imitate and repeat what He did.   Our children will follow us.

We must be the ones who love the future generation.  The only way is to Be Still.  Teaching them the importance of time with their creator, savior, forever friend, counselor.  Our God-given job is to love them and lead them to their Creator…. and pray that they will seek Him on their own one day. 

Show your children God’s love by loving them and others as Christ loves you.

Remember God’s Words This Weekend.
Prayer:  Dear Lord, help me to remember your words...to Be STILL as an example to my family so that they can learn to Be Still with you, and when we are together as a family.  Remind me to pray together, to be quiet, to be quick to forgive, to look for what’s best, and to speak gently into areas of their lives that need growth.  Even one minute a day to Remember for each of us/all of us to BE STILL with you.

Amen.- Sandi
