The Importance of Teaching Children

 Two things I heard in a sermon once that was engraved on my heart for life.

The importance of teaching little ones about God and feeding them His Word at their level. Jochebed realized the importance of this. Moses was the future leader of the Israelites-the next generation. Jochebed did her part to prepare him and trusted God to do His part.

What "lambs" has God placed in your life? What are you doing to make a difference for the next generation?
