"Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 6:4-7

In 1 Samuel 1, Hannah presented her son, Samuel, to the Lord. In Luke 2:22, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to present him before the Lord. In the same way, parents today present themselves and their children before God, acknowledging God’s sovereignty over themselves and their children.
