“Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.”
– Psalm 34:11
Is there any greater definition of what a parent's role is than this? Let's make sure that in the swirling demands and involvements of our lives we do not forget the MAIN thing that God has given us as parents, teachers, and friends to do in the lives of children.
Two kinds of rulers
Proverbs 22:7
The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
Thoughts
"It is the acknowledgment of our humanity and our frailness that places us in a position to have a personal encounter with the living God." - Os Hillman
"Dear Lord, either quiet the waves or lift me above them; it's too late to learn to swim." - Mary Crowley
"God answers all knee mails." - Author Unknown
"To love is to be vulnerable." - C.S. Lewis
"God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events and reserved for himself the knowledge of them, that he may train us up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event." - Matthew Henry
Wage Peace
“Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” – Psalm 34:14
It is not enough to turn from evil. We can clean the putrid things out of our life, but if we do not actively pursue what is good then a worse evil will rush into the void. (cf. Mat. 12:43-45) Let's be a people eager to do good and with a passion to "wage peace."
Prayers
. Father, I do praise you for the truth about Jesus that will one day be realized fully by everyone who has ever lived. May my life display that truth in the way I treat people today. May my lips suitably proclaim that truth so others can know Jesus as Lord today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
