Lesson1.2- God's Design and Purpose for Children

Psalm 145:3-4 (Tell God's Story to the Next Generation)
Great is The Lord, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.


Psalm 78:1-8 (Tell the next generation God's deeds so that they will trust Him)


Isaiah 38:19 (Teach God's faithfulness to our children)
"It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today;
A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness."

God makes it clear over and over again that weare to teach our children about God.
We must remember that we are not only affecting our children's lives, but our grandchildren and their children and the rest of the generations.  We are a part of this chain, if we forget to pass on God's story we may possibly be affecting all the future generations, even if not intentionally.  It is so easy to lose this strong foundation ( check out Judges 3:17 and Judges 2:10 they lost it within one generation).

One important thing to remember is to not just tell our children what to do but why we do it.
