I am the father of four children and many times found myself with a fussy child trying to calm them. My babies, like most babies, did not want me to just sit there with them in my lap. So sometimes I would stand up and sing to Jesus while I was holding them.
It is hard for me to know, even as I write this, what a big deal that is. Holding my child and singing,
"in moments like these, I sing out a song, I sing out a love song to Jesus,
in moments like these, I sing out a song, I sing out a love song to Him,
singing I love you Lord, singing I love you Lord, singing I love you, Lord I love you."
Without really knowing it I was teaching my babies to worship God, the same way I was teaching them how to lose their temper, and many bad things that I did, I was also teaching them to worship Jesus.
My mother would no doubt have done the same thing when I was a little baby. Many of the first words I learned were from my mom praising Jesus while holding me. I was blessed to learn from her.
Question 1: Who have you learned to worship Jesus from? Who taught you? Maybe it was not a family member, but who was it?
Question 2: Who is learning to worship Jesus from you?
Idea: Think about those who are watching you, and how you can help them in learning how to sing to Him.
