(Proverbs 22:6) .. Train up a child in the way he ~Should~ Go: and when he IS old he will not depart from IT! Sometimes I think people have read or heard this so much that they have turned a deaf ear to it, thinking that God IS Slack IN Exacting HIS Instruction of children…. BUT!
Children ARE NOT ~Toys~ to play with, although they are precious and lovable and the antics that they do in their learning process can be amusingly sweet… IT IS THE Position OF A Loving parent TO: Protect, Guide, Direct, Teach, Keep and Lead that child in as safe a path as possible through this life… Building them up in the things needed to help them go through this walk set before in a ~Life~ saving manner… AND *IF* IT means giving up the amusement of game or role playing with them, trying to make them into something ~BIG~ in the society of the world, pushing them to BE Rich in material things, then that IS A Sacrifice that we as parents ~MUST~ make for the ~Safety~ of our offspring…
We tell ourselves that we would fight a circle saw or take a bullet for our children… BUT then we dress them like the world, put them on a hook, and dangle them as wiggling bait before every predator in this world…
We hollar and scream about ~~pedophiles~, lock ‘um up, about dope dealers, gang members, drinking and driving, smoking, killing in our schools, because the Government took God and prayer out of IT, to the face of the public…. BUT on the back side, turn around and we are promoting all those things in the way we are raising our children…. Think About IT! DO we As Parents KEEP God In their Thoughts by the training that we provide them with at home? How many times have you as a parent turned OFF the TV, put down the book of fashion or love stories of sexual gratification that you were reading, took the pretend war, kill, battle, magic games put of their little hands, sat them down beside you and said let’s read a GOOD BOOK, and learn of our Father in Heaven, and HIS Son, Jesus Christ, an THE Holy Ghost THAT Will help us when we get into trouble and need a guiding hand? Teaching them that THE Holy Ghost IS NOT like the “boo” scary things of the pagan celebration of a season that everyone is taught of….
How many parents have pushed their little ones to be great in: Hollywood? Make IT Big, git rich? Dressing their little ones in the outlandish fashions that the clothiers are producing today.. Scant, provocative, show ~ALL~ for even 4 & 5 year olds… Teaching them to walk with swaying hips, poke their lips out in a sultry adult whorish come hither look… Painting their little faces with the paint of the harlot Jezebel… Displaying them, encouraging them to act as sexy adults in and to a world of perverts..
We put toy guns, BB guns in their little hands and tell them go shot the enemy, play like, be a big grown up soldier man… Beat up the child that looks at you wrong… Take what IS yours, and Don’t take ~NO~ flack from another… Compassion? Competition? My child plays ball better than your child, ~MY~ child IS the prettiest, most talented in the contest… Biblical?
Sadly this ain’t the folks of a lost and dying world, but folks that sit weekly on a Church Pew, and claim the Name of God’s Only Son, Jesus Christ… Double Standards????
How many do you suppose have actually read: THE BOOK OF ~ALL~ Instruction that God the Father had preserved for us to follow and live by as we live these lives here in the flesh… The ~Time~ Allowed us to ~~Prove~~ ourselves, before God Which way we will walk and who we will serve??? AND TO Teach our children Which way to walk …
(Exodus 20:20) … Moses Said: “God HAS COME, TO: ~Prove~ you, That HIS fear may be before your faces, ~That ye ~~sin~~ NOT~…
(John 6:6) .. AND Jesus Said: “Whence shall we buy bread, that ~all~ may eat?” .. AND this He Said TO: ~Prove him (Phillip) for He knew what he would do…
(Joshua 24:15)… “IF IT Seems evil unto you to ~Serve~ the LORD, choose ye this day whom ye ~Will~ serve… As for me and my house we will serve the LORD.
(Romans 12:1-2) .. I Beseech ye therefore THAT: ye present your ~bodies~ a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God.. & Be NOT Conformed to this world, BUT Be ye Transformed BY The Renewing of your minds, that ye may ~~PROVE~~ what IS That good, acceptable, & Perfect Will of God…. (IT Isn’t referring to the renewing of your minds in the constant changing of worldly fads, games, follies, keeping on top of the latest trend, BUT The renewing of your minds in thoughts gained from the Written Word….)
(I Thessalonians 5:21).. **PROVE ~ALL~ THINGS** Hold Fast TO that which IS Good!
Before we run out and have the rage of this day and time ~tattooed~ cut and painted, in our skin or implanted in our children’s thoughts as something to be desired, or our ~hair dyed~ a bold color other than what the LORD saw fit that we should wear, as HE gave TO us AS Individuals TO set us apart from others, make ourselves unique, did we take the time TO Actually read HIS Instructions of What we should or should NOT DO?
While we are running about yelling, “I’m gonna BE MY OWN Person, Ain’t nobody gonna tell ~ME~ what to do, I want to be exclusive in ~MY~ Walk,” Ever stop and ~Think~?
That IS Exactly HOW God The Father, Made us to begin with, HE Created us in HIS Image, Each individual person HE made into a unique being… IT IS we who changed ourselves into the image of the world….
FOR, when we look at the world and IT’S trends and raves, we want to step out and follow what everyone else IS Doing… Painted fake nails and lashes, mini, skimpy body wear, or lack of IT, body paints, piercing, anything that the world does, & consider ~Beauty~ we want to jump in and follow right along with…on that Broad and spacious pathway that Jesus warned so many would walk upon … (Matthew 7:13-14) ..Luke 13:24-30) IT IS SAD TO SEE!
Ever Stop and wonder WHY, The rules for beauty IS Always Changing… IF Indeed this were beauty would NOT the rules Remain THE Same… BE Dependably Consistent?
I once knew a sweet young girl, with beautiful skin, long flowing hair, such a naturally sweet face, she gave the appearance of being just about the sweetest child I knew… BUT then the next thing I knew, there she was on the net, in her bikini under pants, and skimpy bra, face painted like Jezebel, hiding the beautiful complexion that God had given her, her hair all teased an fluffed with bangles all over, ALL the natural beauty gone, hidden under the fake caked on make up, of the world… AND The saddest part of this picture IS, her inner being is also becoming caked, covered up in the ways of the world, smothering the sweet spirit that God gave her to serve HIM with, and she IS becoming an ~ALL ABOUT ME~ child for she IS still only a young child in years… THIS IS What we do to our children when we furnish them with the ways of the world, feed them the junk that IT has to offer, Either NOT Recognizing or caring that IT IS Leading them slowly and surely down the path of ~Destruction~… BUT THEN *IF* ONLY we as parents would take the time to Read, Seek out our steps in God’s Written Book of Instruction, BEFORE we Make them… What DID The Early Apostles warn of in this modern day? ….
(Acts 17:30).. AT the times of ignorance God winked AT: (Before HE Sent HIS Son to live among men teaching them, setting examples for them to follow, taking away all excuses for walking an opposing path to God’s Will and Way) … BUT NOW Commandeth ~ALL~ men everywhere TO Repent…
(Ephesians 4:17-18)… Henceforth ~Walk~ NOT AS other Gentiles walk, IN THE Vanity of their mind… Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from The Life of God ~Through~ the ignorance that IS IN Them, Because OF the blindness of their heart… BUT!
(I Peter I:14)…As ~Obedient~ children, ~~NOT~~ fashioning yourselves your selves according TO the ~former lusts of your ignorance….
