Faith In God = JOY in the Lord



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Please remember to share the JOY of Jesus with your children!

            Parents, do your children hear you reading from the Bible?  Do they see you studying it, as if you value that book above all others?  Do you teach them that every word is TRUTH and that if we will apply that truth to our lives, we will be blessed?  Now, we have no promise that we’ll never have troubles; trials and difficulties come to each of us.  But the blessings come regardless of our circumstances when we have a close, personal relationship with God.

            The greatest thing that we can ever teach our children is FAITH in God!  Romans 10:17 says: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

When we take the time to read the Bible to and with our children; when we allow them to hear the truth of scripture consistently; when we allow time for them to ask questions and spend time talking about the principles laid out in the Word of God---then we are instilling in them a gift that will never leave them.  That gift is called FAITH.  I like to call it a “Jewel of JOY”.

              We can never say it enough! “The JOY of the Lord is our strength!” Nehemiah 8:10.  And that JOY comes from a strong, unwavering faith in our Heavenly Father!  When we love him with all our heart, soul and mind, then the joy overflows onto others…especially those under our influence!

           “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  Share that “jewel of joy” with your family and loved ones today!
