DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 3; Jeremiah 11; Ephesians:4:17-32 [17] This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: [19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. [20] But ye have not so learned Christ; [21] If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: [22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. [25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. [26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: [27] Neither give place to the devil. [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. [29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? Judges:13:12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?

After learning that God was giving him and his barren wife a son, Manoah asked the Lord how the child should be reared? The Lord affirmed the instructions He had previously given Manoah’s wife: “All that I commanded her let her observe” (Judg. 13:14). The Lord did not give Manoah a “How To” book on child rearing, but rather affirmed that parents were to have a God-honouring testimony in the home. Children will be more likely to follow the Lord when they see and hear God’s Word lived out before them. —W. A. H.
