Day 280 Bible Reading: Jeremiah 9-10, Colossians 3, Psalm 78:1-30 and Proverbs 24:27 
'The child is father of the man', wrote William Wordsworth. Yes, childhood experiences shape a person's character. Let's not delegate to others the responsibility to teach our children the right way to live in God's ways.
"He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children." – Psalm 78:5 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, when You give me a command You will also give me grace to do the job. I claim Your wisdom and Your grace so I can be an effective parent to teach my children Your laws and Your ways through my words and behaviours. In Jesus' name, Amen."
