Good Morning!
I
have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the
truth.
This statement found in 3rd John 4 states
clearly how I feel about my children, grandchildren, and
great-grandchildren. I am sure this is
true for you as well. My hope is that
all of my descendants will know Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior; learning to walk
in the Light of Christ and live as true servants to God.
There are only two things I can do towards
this hope. The first is to live a life
before my descendants that honors the One who I claim as Lord. Before I can
make my talk, I need to show my commitment by my walk. Each child should see my
devotion in the study of God’s Word and the choices I make as a result. They should hear me talk about how God has
blessed me. They should witness my reaction to life’s many challenges as I trust
God and seek His face. And they should hear the gospel message from my lips
either directly or indirectly. I believe
as they see the witness of their father, grandfather or great-grandfather, they
will make the decision to follow Jesus.
The good old hymn “Trust and Obey” says it
best …
When
we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
Let us purpose to walk with the Lord this very
day …
Agape’
Mr. Jim
Prayer: Father, I trust in You. I plea for my
children, asking that You will intervene should they stray from You. I plea for
my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, asking that You work in the lives of
their parents so they might know You as I know You. Teach each one of us … me,
my children, and all their descendants … to walk in Truth and thus honor You. In the precious Name of Jesus. Amen.
Scripture for today: 3rd John 1:4
