Deuteronomy 4:9

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

From Background Notes [BN] for Aug 30th & 31st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The Word of God guides our steps, it doesn’t weigh us down or bind us up or push us out. The Word of God guides our steps by teaching us how to walk. That’s right, how to walk.



Children learn to walk, usually through the encouragement of their parents (and grandparents!) and lots of trial and error: lots of falling down and getting up; lots of single steps and clumsy trips. Through all of this seemingly inefficient process, those little ears hear words — words about “Good job, Lucas;” “Two steps, Whoopi, Caden;” “Look at you, Emilee;” “Nice try, Grace.” So it is that God guides our steps by the gracious Word He speaks. [BN, 3]
