Clean Slate?

What will you write upon it?

Whatever you write on the heart of a child

No water can wash it away.

The marks in the sands are erased by the tide,

Inscriptions will crumble with clay.

The words in a book will decay with the years

And even engraving in stone disappears,

But God’s Word inscribed on a little child’s heart

For time and eternity, shall not depart.

—Author unknown

Whether or not you make New Year’s resolutions, the turn of a year is a good time to re-evaluate priorities and make adjustments. There is nothing more important in your child’s education than memorization of Scripture. Scripture builds faith, the fear of the Lord, and leads us to Christ. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). But without faith it is impossible to please him (Hebrews 11:6). The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10). The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7). In [Christ] are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (II Timothy 3:15).
