FAITH CAPSULE: Parents are with a command to train children.

Deuteronomy 32

When the Israelites were coming out of the bondage of over four hundred years, Moses spoke to the Israelites: “Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word, you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.” (Deuteronomy 32:46-47) 
Among the points in the message of Moses for the Israelites speaks to all are: 
1. Command your children to be careful to observe all the words of God (the word of God is the law of God).
A child with no training shall not know to submit to the command of God, not living life to observe the words of God.
Are you training your child enough before God?
Does the training that you give to your child count before God?
All belongs to God. 
Children belong to God, but the parents have the assignment of God as a caretaker to train the children for God. 
The word of God commands the training for children.
Proverbs 22:6 records, “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” 
Ephesians 6:4 also records, “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”
One that does not train children enough is the same as not giving training to children before God.
God is watching and will not look away from one not living life by His word.
Eli could not train his children enough not to violate God, not to corrupt, and not know God. (1 Samuel 2) 
The failure of Eli before God, for not to train his children enough records: For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them. (1 Samuel 3:13) 
Eli knows about the wrong but does not control or restrict children.
2. The word of God is not worthless but is worthy to give life to be able to arrive at the promise of God.
Deuteronomy 32:47 states for it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word, you shall prolong your days.
The word of God is a life wire, to be alive through the journey of life, not to live a life of waste.
One that receives training by the word of God shall not miss in the promise of God.
Be trained in the word of God to see as it sounds in your direction.
The word of God is not idle. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to live life by His word.
