Priority of things in life

[LR]

Surely the name of Jesus, Alpha and Omega can alert us to be aware of
ordering things aright.
There is a first and a last, a place to begin, and there is a due
process.
1st Chron 15:13 gives clear instruction to follow a "due order " and
warns of a breach otherwise.

Reminds me of Jesus talking about straining at a tiny problem while
accepting a major problem or not even recognizing the bigger problem.

We have a duty to our children to give them the good things God wants
them to have.
In food of thought, mind, and understanding as well as the body.

Adam and Eve knew God when they were told to multiply, so they clearly
were to raise children who also knew God. That's why all the
statements about teaching them daily, throughout the day, on the
things of God.

We are to do all things unto the glory of God. Public school is
clearly not to the glory of God.
The current state of affairs in the communication of America's history
and divine providence is not in "due order" with the glory of God.
We must look to fulfilling the first responsibilities to our children
in things they see, hear, and practice.
We must lift up God to them and we must show them the things of God in
life and in creation.

What else on your schedule could be more important. What can you
accomplish unless you are in the due order He prescribes.

Adam and Eve weren't just told to have children, they were expected to
have children raised knowing their God.

The last few verses of Malchi
1st Kings 8:58 ...walk in His ways which He commanded our fathers
Lest this happen to you Acts 7:39
Will we be the guilty fathers who would not obey God as in Acts 7:39

But instead let this happen to you, Malachi 4:6 that God turn your
heart to carefully nurture your sons and daughters as He has given
instructions to do. That they might know the things of God and
everything else they know, they will know it as God knows it and not
as the world sees it.

But we have made excuses to ourselves
