King Louie sang "I Wanna walk like you, talk like you..."

 

I don't know whose child this is, but he's angry...showing a temper.

There IS something worse than watching a child throwing a temper, it's an adult doing the same. Haven't we all seen it?
Doesn't matter if the person is 3 or 93, it's uncomely, makes those around them cringe and uncomfortable. They are not desirable employees, they are abusive wives/husbands, mothers/fathers, rebellious teens, people that don't respect authority anyplace they go....all because they were not "trained" when they were very young children.

The Word of God tells us in Prov. 22:6:
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he'll not depart from it.

I've heard people say that this Scripture is telling us that the children WILL walk their own way...but will eventually return to God. Well...if any of ours should happen to do so, we can pray and God will retore.
HOWEVER, I see this passage saying that while we are training our children in THE WAY (translated from Hebrew's HIS WAY) they should go, even when they are old, they'll not depart from it...THE WAY.

Prayer and intercession plays a tremendous part at keeping our enemy at bay, and following the leading of the Holy Spirit, being the garden keepers of our own homes.

Just because our children may be raised in a Christian home...go to church...have Christian surroundings does not mean that they will aquire a Christian life by osmossis, eh? :)

When people come to the Lord as adults, there are still principles that need to be learned so they'll not be making use of spiritual pacifiers for all their lives, and cut a wide swath wherever they go with unresolved anger.

We're told in God's Word that we're to "Put On Christ".
The way we do that is by being obedient to the Word of God, submitting to Him and DOING what He tells us. Walking in His LOVE. LOL LOL It's also known sometimes as "dying to ourselves".... :) so He can be formed IN US.

This reminds me of the song in "Jungle Book" (the animated one) where the orangatang King Louie, was singing to Mowglie (the boy) saying "I wanna walk like you, talk like you.... oooo oooo ooo! Remember that cute clip? GOD I WANT TO WALK LIKE YOU AND TALK LIKE YOU!!!! HELP ME!!!!

There's GREAT PROMISE, in God's Word. He's told us that we will never be ashamed of our hope in Him.

God I ask You to deliver us from evil. Help us to dig into Your Word to find Your Great and Precious Promises, and give us the confidence to stand upon them. Help us Lord, to FOLLOW YOU, as Jesus did. Father I ask You to help us to help our children, our grandchildren and those about us to become like YOU. Lord, YOU are the Potter and WE are the clay, help me to hop up on that wheel to be designed by You. YOU MAKE MY HEART FULL OF JOY, I desire my LIFE to be a joy to You and those about me. Greater are YOU who dwell on the inside of me that he that dwells in the earth. You have created us to be overcomers, right now in this life, and I thank You for helping us be just that, in Jesus' Name.
