Lay up His words in your entire being…

Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your [minds and] hearts and in your [entire] being, and bind them for a sign upon your hands and as forehead bands between your eyes.

And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

That your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.” Deuteronomy 11:18-21 [Amplified version]

Wow, that’s quite a directive, isn’t it?

I think homeschooling lends itself to these opportunities to share God’s Word with our children at every opportunity.

I like to start the morning with Bible reading. During breakfast, I will read the chapter in Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month. I like to read from my NASB/AMP parallel Bible and alternate between the New American Standard and the Amplified versions every other month. There are so many words of advice that really we should be chewing on one verse per day. But this is how we have been doing it.

Through the day we do school, and much of our learning is Bible-focused (we use Heart of Wisdom for Bible, history, and science).

Before  bedtime we have family devotions. We’re currently working through a Smith Wigglesworth devotional and are enjoying it very much.

So what do you do to teach God’s truths to your children?
