Scripture Focus: “TRAIN UP a CHILD in the way he should go…” Proverbs 22:6.
Without formal structures of worship (the church), Cain and Abel knew to honour God by offering sacrifices to Him, showing that Adam and Eve must have taught them about worship and sacrifice. This demonstrates the importance of a parent’s role in setting a spiritual foundation for their children. Through your example and guidance, you can lead them to live for God.
Although, like Cain and Abel, your children will ultimately choose their own path, the values you instil will go a long way to shape their journey. It is important to lay a solid foundation.
Prayer: Father, help me to be a good model for my children in Jesus’ name, amen.
