Isaiah 28: 9-10 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”
The other night, me and Abram (my 2 year old) were having a little talk about Daddy going to work and why. I asked him, out of curiosity for what he would come up with, what his work would be when he grew up. Guess what he said?! He said he was going to have one of those big poles that catch fish (fishing pole). I said, Oh so your going to be a fisherman? And he said yeah. And I said, So you're going to catch fish for your work? And he said, "No, I'm gonna catch men!"
Wow! That blew me away. I did not put that in his head, and I don't know where he got it from either. I thought that was worth writing down!
(That does not mean I'm going to eliminate all other careers from his future possibilities--I'm not one of those kind of parents. He could be in any career and still 'fish for men'. However, this makes me really aware, yet again, of my need to focus more attention on teaching my children the bible. I had a dream shortly after Abram was born that I was nursing him, and that instead of milk, he was drinking the Word of God! It was a very real dream that I take very seriously. I don't know what God has in store for that little boy, but I know He wants me to pour the Word of God into him.) |
