Re: Verse reading–Exodus 12:1-14, 24-27, 13:8-9 (day five)
Exodus 12:26 “And when your children say to you, ‘What does this rite mean to you?’”
Exodus 13:8 “You shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’”
It is a great privilege for parents and grandparents to shape the faith of the next generation. Current research continues to affirm what the Lord knew thousands of years ago- that spiritual practices and patterns by parents and grandparents would indeed lead to questions and conversations with kids and teens. Through these relationships, children will see and sense the urgency and priority of a vibrant and dynamic relationship with God. So, what do our kids sense and see about our faith? Does it cause them to ask “What” and “Why”? Do we have meaningful answers from our own experiences and understanding? Maybe an honest look at our practices and patterns as they relate to spiritual growth and strength would be helpful today.
