Connect with God’s Word

Psalm 78 is a wonderful, generational Psalm to hold onto for your homeschool philosophy or mission statement. 

“Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;

    incline your ears to the words of my mouth!

I will open my mouth in a parable;

    I will utter dark sayings from of old,

things that we have heard and known,

    that our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

    but tell to the coming generation

the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might,

    and the wonders that He has done.

He established a testimony in Jacob

    and appointed a law in Israel,

which He commanded our fathers

    to teach to their children,

that the next generation might know them,

    the children yet unborn,

and arise and tell them to their children,

    so that they should set their hope in God

and not forget the works of God,

    but keep his commandments.” (Psalm 78:1–7 ESV)

“. . . Gather the people to Me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.” (Deuteronomy 4:10 ESV)

A Prayer for Home Schools

“Thank you, Father, for this time. 

Thank you for each family that is represented here that is taking on the education of the hearts of your children. 

They’re yours, God. 

We just want to steward them well for you, so give us wisdom. 

Give us wisdom. 

Help us to remember that what we are doing today is going to last generationally—that the seeds we plant will be bearing fruit in this generation and the next and the next. 

Help us not to forget you. 

Help us to speak your Word into our children’s lives and hearts. 

Thank you for your blessing, generationally, over home-educating families. 

In Jesus’s name, Amen.” —Deborah Wuehler
