Read them daily, for they are your spiritual nourishment. Just as the body needs physical food to grow strong and stay healthy, your soul craves the wisdom, truth, and guidance that come from God’s Word. Scripture is not meant to be read occasionally or merely admired—it is to be taken in regularly, feeding your spirit with life, clarity, and strength.
Each verse offers insight, each promise revives hope, and each command draws you closer to the heart of the Divine. When you make reading God’s Word a daily habit, you’ll find your perspective shifting, your faith deepening, and your path made clearer—even in times of confusion.
Let the Word dwell richly in you, for in it is the nourishment that sustains eternal life.
“A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard,
‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any.Cut it down!Why should it use up the soil?’
‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.If it bears fruit next year, fine!If not, then cut it down!’”
Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.He said:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea,
‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
For some time he refused.But finally he said to himself,
‘Even thought I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’
And the Lord said,
‘Listen to what the unjust judge says.And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night?Will He keep putting them off?I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly.However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?’”
Make every moment sacred by inviting God into the everyday rhythm of your children’s lives. Pray with them while eating, laughing, playing, or simply being together. Before you begin any activity—whether it’s schoolwork, a walk outside, or bedtime—pause and help them turn their hearts toward the divine. Let each prayer, no matter how simple, shape their awareness of God's presence and His abundant love.
Help your children marvel at the wonder of God's creation: the sun rising each day, the kindness of a stranger, the mystery of the stars. Teach them that every leaf, every breath, every smile is a brushstroke of His divine artistry.
To lay a strong foundation in truth, introduce them early to the knowledge of God and the mystery of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These early teachings are like seeds gently planted in fertile soil. With love and faith, they will grow into deep roots that anchor their souls in righteousness and grace.
When children are raised with an understanding of God’s love, they become beacons of light—walking in compassion, seeking wisdom, and living with a sense of sacred purpose. As Jesus tenderly said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)
So let us not merely teach them about God, but help them fall in love with His ways—to see prayer not as a ritual, but as a daily conversation with their Creator. In doing so, we don’t just pass on knowledge; we awaken a lifelong faith and invite them into the heart of grace itself.
Parents, you are entrusted with a sacred calling—to be the first teachers, the first examples, and the first spiritual guides in your children's lives. The Lord commands us not to treat this duty lightly or occasionally, but to make it the very rhythm of our lives. As Scripture says, "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" (Deuteronomy 11:19). This divine instruction is not a suggestion—it is a charge, a mandate rooted in love and responsibility.
Raising a child in the knowledge of God isn’t confined to Sunday mornings or bedtime prayers. It is woven into the everyday—when you pack lunches, when you're walking to school, waiting at a red light, or winding down after a long day. Faith is formed in these ordinary moments. They become holy ground when filled with the truth of God’s Word.
Speak life. Speak truth. Speak grace. Let the stories of Scripture and the character of God echo in your home, not only through words but through actions, attitudes, and decisions. When your child watches how you show kindness, extend forgiveness, and walk in obedience, they are watching the gospel in motion.
Plant the seeds of faith early, water them daily with prayer and love, and trust God to bring the growth. His Word, once sown into the heart of a child, does not return void—it becomes a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105).
The home is the first sanctuary. Let it resound with the truth of the Lord, so that our children may rise, not only knowing about God, but knowing Him personally and walking with Him boldly in the world.
