Intentional

Here’s a question I ask myself often—Why don’t I spend more time talking with God? I have my excuses, but they are empty rationalizations. Jesus made talking to his Father a priority.

The cycle of life keeps us moving forward. Recently I saw a picture of our children when they ranged in age from two to preteen. I lived through that time. I experienced it in real life. But I can hardly remember what it was like. Life is elusive. Time keeps moving forward.

Let’s pray that God gives us the strength and courage to lead our children well.

Parenting is intentional work. Let’s pray that God gives us the strength and courage to lead our children well.

Unless we are serious and intentional about building our family according to the Lord’s instruction, we will get stuck with a big house filled with small, self-absorbed, and self-saturated people.
