POST #2 of tonights Bible study!! A PASSION FOR TEACHING GOD’S WORD A woman after God’s own heart is first and foremost a woman who has in her own heart a deep and abiding passion for God’s Word. And her children – not the children at her church; not the women at her church; not her friends, her neighbors, or anyone else – are to receive the firstfruits of this burning personal passion. The Bible speaks twice of “the law” or teaching of the mother (Proverbs 1:8, 6:20), indicating that you and I as mothers are on assignment from God to teach His Word to our children. You an dI can do many things for our children, but teaching God’s Word must be our passion. Why? Because God’s Word (the Hebrew word ‘tora’, which means the divine law, the Word of God, the Bible) has value for salvation and value for eternity. God uses His Word to draw people to Himself. The apostle Paul teaches that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17) and that “the Holy Scriptures…area able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). Furthermore, God’s Word never returns to Him without first accomplishing His divine purposes (Isaiah 55:11). In light of this saving power of God’s Word, we must place His Holy Scriptures first on the list of things our children must know – and first in our own heart! We must first have a passion for God’s Word before we can share that passion with our children.
