“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.” Proverbs 2:6 “All your children will be taught of the LORD, and GREAT WILL BE THEIR PEACE.” (Isaiah 54:13) “Fathers, don’t make your children angry. Instead, TRAIN THEM AND TEACH THEM THE WAYS OF THE LORD as you raise them.” (Ephesians 6:4)
“…these words which I COMMAND YOU (in other words this is not a suggestion) today shall be in your heart. You shall TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY (shanan: teach them in an accurate and precise manner) TO YOUR CHILDREN and shall talk of them when you SIT in your house, when you WALK by the way, when you LIE DOWN, and when you RISE UP. You shall write them on their emails and cell phones.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)
Jesus you are “…the BREAD OF LIFE.” (John 6:35) Jesus you are the WORD of GOD, “In the beginning was the Word…And THE WORD BECAME FLESH and lived among us…” (John 1:1, 14) Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that comes from the MOUTH OF GOD.” (Matthew 4:4) “…the WORD OF GOD is LIVING and POWERFUL, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12) “All Scripture is GOD–BREATHED (theopneustos: God’s breath) and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and TRAINING (paideia: instruction that helps us to reach full development) IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, so that the servant of God may be THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Be aware of God’s awesomeness, “Am I a God near at hand,” says the LORD, “And not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “DO I NOT FILL HEAVEN AND EARTH?” says the LORD. Is not My word LIKE A FIRE?” says the LORD, “And LIKE A HAMMER that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:23-24, 29)
