Hi everyone! It's Tania, and welcome to the Moms for Christ podcast. A Word that I have today comes from the Book of John, chapter 1, verse 36 to 37, and it says, “When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God!’ When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.”
"...it's our responsibility to be the leaders in our household and in our family so that our children can follow us as we follow Christ." And this Word is speaking about John - he's speaking to a crowd of his disciples, Pharisees, and other people in the crowd that just wanted to hear what John had to say. And John's disciples were able to go and follow Jesus because they had been taught about Jesus, they had been taught about who He was, and when their time came - when Jesus was there standing before them - they were ready to follow Him because they had been prepared, they had been taught of who He was. The same is with our children. We are supposed to lead our children, and they're supposed to follow us the way that we follow Christ. And I think of the children's game, “Follow the Leader,” and you know the kids follow whoever is in front of them, and the same holds true in everyday life. Our children are always following whoever the leader is, and so, it's our responsibility to be the leaders in our household and in our family so that our children can follow us as we follow Christ.
"God calls them to be the example." It reminds me of a few days ago: Ryann was very upset because she wanted to do something, and it just wasn't the right time and I told her that she had to wait. And I noticed that she got upset for a moment, and then immediately turned and was okay and went about doing whatever she had to do until she was able to do what she had originally wanted to do. And later we talked about it, and she said that at first she got upset but she realized that her friends were around her, and she is supposed to be the example, and if she's doing the wrong thing she did not want her friends to think that it's okay to do the same. And, no she did not have a right to get upset, and we spoke about it, but that she could understand at a young age that her friends are watching what she's doing and to take on the responsibility of not wanting to do the wrong thing, and cause them to think that it's okay. And we really - my husband and I - have been trying to instill this in our children: that they are to be the example and that God calls them to be the example.
"...set the example of who God is in your life..." I always laugh when I hear my children's teach...
