Doing righteousness and justice

I decided to go back to the beginning of what we'd been reading in Genesis and begin seeking out the passages that refer to God's relationship with His people and the doctrine of salvation. I'm hoping to get through the whole Bible this year doing this, and I'm very excited about it.

The passage that really stuck out to me today fit that theme, but struck me more as a parent.

For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him. Genesis 18:1

What a blessing it would be to have it said of us as parents that we commanded our children to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice! That's aiming a lot higher than "brushing your teeth and saying your prayers."
