“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:26

The Word of God: Our Guidebook

We are called to impress the Word of God on our children’s hearts as we come and go, sit at home, and walk along the road. (Deut. 6:7) Every day we are given numerous opportunities to point our children to the Lord! Each day we will be met with opportunities to teach, rebuke, correct, and train our children in righteousness! The Word of God is our guidebook! It’s a lamp for our feet and a light for our path! (Ps 119:105) It’s wisdom and instruction. We are to hide it in our hearts so we can faithfully instruct and teach our children in the way they should go.

In our home, when an issue comes up or a sin needs addressed, we ask heart probing questions to get our children to evaluate their own hearts and see what they need to put off and put on! (Ephesians 4:22-23) We then point them to Scripture to rebuke the wrong behavior as well as Scripture to encourage them in the right behavior!

Using Lamp & Light

When a sin or issue arises in your home, the first place you should turn for wisdom is the Lord. His Word is full of so much wisdom. You can use this scripture copy work notebook to help your children learn and commit scripture to memory so that they can be armed with truth to combat the lies of the enemy. These verses can serve as reminders for us and our children of the right behaviors we are to put on, as commanded by the Lord.

Lamp & Light Designs

Because I have both a son and daughter and many of you do as well, I wanted to be sure that I had designs that could work for both so I offer Lamp & Light in both a floral print and a vines/greenery print. Verses are the same in both sets. This is currently a digital resource that you can print as many times as you need for your own home and can be purchased from either Teacher's Pay Teachers or Etsy (see links below)
