RIGHT THINKING
What are you teaching your children? It's easy to get into the mode of packing information into your children's brains, the more the better! But "information" is not education. "Right thinking" is education. Unless your children know how to think correctly, information won't do them a lot of good.
Right thinking comes from God's Word—even though it is often contrary to how society thinks and usually the opposite of what is taught in the public education system.
I read this morning in Psalm 119:160 (TPT): “The sum total of all your words adds up to absolute truth, and every one of your righteous decrees is everlasting.” For ourselves and for our children, God‘s Word should be the blueprint and the plumbline for everything we believe. God’s Word always has the final say.
If Jesus said, I believe it,
His Word cannot lie.
If it’s written in the Bible,
I’ll believe it ‘till I die.
Though the mountains be removed,
And cast in to the sea,
God’s Word will last forever,
Throughout eternity.
Isaiah 55:8-9 says: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
To truly educate your children, you must give them the right foundation, which is GOD-THINKING!
Northrup Frye said, "The Bible . . . should be taught so early and so thoroughly that it sinks straight to the bottom of the mind, where everything that comes along later can settle on it." How early is early? From the womb. As a nursing baby. As a child. Throughout life.
Make sure your children have the right foundation. And lay the foundation strongly.
