In the New Covenant, this age of grace, we have the privilege of being a royal priesthood.
I want to raise my children in the presence of Yahweh so that they know His presence and His word.
1 Samuel 2:18, 21b, 26 ESV
Samuel was ministering before Yahweh, a boy clothed with a linen ephod.
... And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of Yahweh.
... Now the boy Samuel continued to grow both in stature and in favor with Yahweh and also with man.
1 Samuel 3:21 ESV
And Yahweh appeared again at Shiloh, for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Yahweh.
These verses about Samuel remind me of Jesus.
Father, teach me to raise my children in your presence. Please speak to them. I want them to know your voice and the power of your word. I want them to walk with you, love you, and obey you. Holy Spirit, please guide me. I ask in the name of Jesus.
