God’s Armor For Our Grandchildren

by | Jul 26, 2009 | 0 comments

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his, mighty power.
Put on the whole armor of God,
so that you may take your stand
against the devils schemes.
Ephesians 6:10, 111 (NIV)

The devil is deceptive, seeking whom he may distract from walking with the Lord. Our culture is challenging the faith of our dear grandchildren. Our younger grandchildren have their challenges with lying, cheating, disobedience to their parents, etc. Our older grandchildren who are teenagers and our young adult grandchildren have significant needs and they tend to push the boundaries of Christian lifestyles.

Pray they will:

•    Recognize the deception of the world.
•    Put on the whole armor of God so they are ready to fight their daily temptations.
•    Arm themselves with Christ’s righteousness by repenting of their sins.
•    Stand firm with the belt of truth (God’s Word).
•    Hold the shield of faith to recognize and extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
•    Memorize the Word of God so the Holy Sprit can use it when needed to withstand the enemy.
•    Be alert, self-controlled, and stand firm in their faith.

Helping Grandchildren Discern Truth From Lies

Recently, I programmed my phone’s GPS to guide me to a specific location, and somehow I ended up with two AI women giving me directions at the same time. To make things more confusing, they weren’t giving me the same directions. This experience reminds us that many “voices” compete for our grandchildren’s attention. Some voices impart truth; others don’t.

Grandparenting Without Overstepping

Most of us also remember what it felt like when our own parents interfered in our parenting. We didn’t appreciate it then—and our kids won’t now. So how do we stay involved without overstepping?
