On The Go Daily Devotion for August 20, 2011

The Most Important Job Of All by Joan Cook
"Bring up your children in the training and admonition of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4
Today, I would like to take a minute to encourage all the mothers and fathers who may be feeling unappreciated, unfulfilled, unrecognized, or just plain tired! Do not be discouraged. Do not give up. Yours is the most important job of all. You have the privilege and responsibility to help shape and develop your child's entire life. Everything you say and do is so very important in his or her development.
One of the definitions of the word "parents" is: those who give birth to children and provide nurture and guidance. Below are words to encourage you and remind you of this awesome responsibility.
"There are exceptional women and men who have other tasks to perform in addition to the task of motherhood and fatherhood and that is the task of providing for the home and of keeping it. But it is the tasks connected with the home that are the fundamental tasks of humanity...if the mother does not do her duty, there will either be no next generation, or a next generation that is worse than none at all..." Theodore Roosevelt
"If we fail to instruct our children in justice, religion, and liberty, we will be condemning them to a world without virtue, a life in the twilight of a civilization where the great truths have been forgotten." Ronald Reagan
Daily Prayer Focus: Thank the Lord for the privilege of parenthood. Be mindful of the awesome responsibility.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Those who need to make decisions for Christ as On The Go and the Keith Cook Team shares the Gospel around the world. Pray that they will hear a clear message about Christ, that the Holy Spirit will move them to a point of decision and that they will be bold enough to publicly respond for Christ.
