Pass It On

(View Daily Bread)
Deuteronomy 4:5-10 (NIV)
Obedience Commanded

5 See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the LORD my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people." 7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him? 8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today?

9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. 10 Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children."

Father I do not have the privilege of such experiences yet. However, I do recall of a time when I was young, there was a lady who often made her rounds around the neighborhood to share more about You to children and adults alike. I was one of them.

I truly believe that she had tried her best to pass the knowledge and good news of You on to the other people. Now that I recall, I really thank You Lord, for the efforts that she gave left a deep impression on me even till this day.

Help me Father, to spread your Word to my nieces and nephews when I get the change to. Let me not be afraid, and let me not be stumped by their short attention span. Guide me with patience into their little hearts for You Father.

The next generation is going to be an even more important one and I really want to see a revival in my family tree. For all the wisdom that will come in time for them, I thank You Lord. I trust in You completely. Amen.
