Setting an Example!

“I agree with Matthew Henry when he says, “They that pray in the family do well; they that pray and read the Scriptures do better; but they that pray, and read, and sing do best of all.” C.H. Spurgeon

I read this and thought of daddy and mom setting an example for us kids with their praying, reading the Word and singing praises wherever they were. They led by example. They didn’t tell us to live one way and they lived a different way, but they both loved the Lord first and foremost.

1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

When we teach our children to love the Lord and be an example then the things in this world will change. I think it is so super to see the parents, their children, their children’s children, and so on living for the Lord.
Father, I thank you for the parents who have set an example to their children, grandchildren, great grand’s, etc. who have set an example of praying, reading the Word and singing praises to you. I pray that if someone doesn’t know you, they will desire you and begin to set that example to their families. Praise your Holy Name.
Be Blessed!
