Do you think you are incapable of teaching your children? Dear mother, you are the best teacher in the world. God ordained you to teach, and He gave you this ability.

You begin teaching your children from the moment they are born. In their first few years, you teach them everything about life—how to talk, walk, etiquette, to understand God’s world, and all the basic foundations of life. And you are still the best teacher for the rest of their lives.

God reminds children, “Do not forsake your mother’s teaching” (Proverbs 1:8). Whose teaching? The state school teacher’s? “ The Sunday school teacher’s?" No, it is the mother’s teaching.

Again, in Proverbs 6:20-22 NASB we read, “Do not forsake the teaching your mother; bind them continually on your heart; tie them around your neck. When you walk bout, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk to you.” That’s the most powerful and influential teaching I have read about.

You can do it, mother. You are the best! You have been ordained for the task!
