6. And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.
7. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thine children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up

9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and thy gates.

Message
The spiritual welfare of our children is one of the concerns of parents. This is one key way to express genuine love for God. It is expected that parents should endeavour to bring their children up to have faithful relationship with God. God wants His people to have intimate fellowship with Him. He gave a command “And thou shall love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy might”. This will make God’s people to know Him deeply and enjoy His covenant relationship. Believers must give their children God centred education in order to instil in them the fear of the Lord.Point of Emphasis: Parental instruction to teach their children is to make them continue to have good relationship with God.
