This is a classic scripture that sets it out plainly that children are to listen to their parents. Kids, especially teenagers think their parents are pretty stupid, they don’t understand that what we teach them is for their own growth and progression into adulthood. Teach them this scripture from the word go and getting them to understand will be easier.
This is a great scripture because the truth just slaps you in the face. For where your treasure is? What do they mean by that? Well it’s what you hold most dear to you, the one thing you would not be without, the one thing you can’t put a value on. Non believers and some Christians I might add would say it’s their homes, cars, jewellry, children, money, animals or whatever other worldly things people treasure. But as people of Faith, out treasure lies in Jesus, He alone is the one thing we can’t do without, He alone is the one thing you can put or add value to, He is priceless, so whoever or whatever steals our heart, that it what we treasure the most, both good and bad.
My treasure is Jesus, my heart is for Heaven and I will see the Glory of The Lord. Where is your treasure?
“to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever”. KJV
5 I will give them—within the walls of my house— a memorial and a name far greater than sons and daughters could give. For the name I give them is an everlasting one. It will never disappear! NLT
Come to the Lord and in His house he will give you an eternal name. We will be marked by our name for eternity with God. That has GOT to be something worth fighting for!
