Three of our young people recited Psalm 1 for me this week. What a pleasure it is to see the Word of God being devoured--like the pies they will be awarded. I actually think these covenant children will have me dishing up a lot of pizza over the years. They are some sharp kids and very interested in spiritual things. I look forward to the time when they shall publicly profess their faith.
I not only want to applaud the studious work of the youth, but I also want to praise their parents for the work they do with their kids in this realm. As we are not at the point where we can sustain a catechism class, it is a comfort to me that we have parents who are willing to diligently train their children in the Scriptures. Many Christian parents today sluff off and delegate the spiritual nurture of their children to the church. Not so with our group. Theological training seems to be priority #1 with our families.
(I actually listened to a broadcast today that dealt with this issue--how Sunday School isn't necessarily needed if parents are fulfilling their work. Oh that we would have that problem more often!)
May God bless us with a deep knowledge of Himself, and may He make His words to be hid in our hearts as well as our heads.
