Nothing will produce strong, godly families like a devotion to God's word. When we study with our families, we accomplish two things. First, we instill the teachings of God's word in our family life. Second, we remind our families that study of God's word is important and necessary. Spiritual leaders pray with their families.
Families are difficult to nurture and protect in our society.
So much is out there waiting to destroy the home, and sometimes, all our attempts at establishing security seem fruitless. That is why prayer is so vital. Children need to know that Dad has a place he can turn when things seem hopeless. They need to know that Dad is grateful for the blessings of God. They need to know that Dad is concerned enough about them to ask for God's guidance, not only for them, but for him in his dealings with them, for Mom as she deals with them, for their teachers and all others who have influence over them.
