Deuteronomy 6:6-7 NKJV “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Looking at these verses, we can see it’s extremely important to God that we teach God’s word to our children. But if we’re rarely around, how can we share God’s word our children?

It’s not only important to teach God’s word to them, but God’s word must demonstrated.

Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church and wives are called to respect their husbands (Ephesians 5:25-33). How will our children know what love and respect looks like if we’re not around to show them? How will one spouse experience love or respect if the other spouse is rarely around?

There seems to be a lot of emphasis on getting money and “me time.” If we spend a large portion of our time working and then the rest of our time is “me time” to recover from work, where’s the time we have to spend with our families? It’s great that we want our families to have a comfortable life and the best version of ourselves, but time is something we can’t get back.

Let’s be sure that our work-life, home-life, and me-life are balanced. The Holy Spirit will help, if we let Him. He’ll tell us how much to work, how much time we should have for ourselves, and when we should spend time with our families. If we listen, it will all work out well.
