Role Models…who are your kids following?
We hear the term role model often in today’s society. It seems as though the only ones that fill that niche now are rock stars, sporting heroes , movie icons and the such. It’s no wonder the path our kids are tracking is often leading them to some strange shores and lifestyles.
Dads and mums, the Bible has some powerful role models that your kids could have as their mentors. For teenagers, Daniel and his three friends who in their teens took on the powerful Babylonian Empire. For young girls there is Hannah and Rebekah.
But even for dads and mums, who better to look to and follow as godly examples other than Abraham and Sarah.
No, they are not perfect, but they are passionate righteous people who served God with all their hearts.
I personally follow a man called Noah, his example saved his whole family in a time when the whole earth faced great destruction. He was faithful, brave, committed and his sons worked side by side with him in building the ark. How Mrs Noah must have loved her husbands example the night the rains started and she and her whole family were safe in the hands of the Lord.
Take time this week to introduce your children, your teens and yourselves to people who can be great role models for each of us in these Last Days before Christ’s return.
Bless you
