“How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:9-11) . There is nothing -absolutely nothing- more that we desire for our kids than to have the heartfelt cry of above. . . As we’re all raising our kids we have to be asking how what we’re having them spending their time on and what we’re investing money in is discipling them. . Are we teaching them that more than anything they must make their practice? That their game is prioritized even over church? That Mom and Dad get more excited about an “A” than to worship the Lord or read the Bible? . Or are we teaching them that nothing is more precious than time with our Savior? That nothing compares with honoring Him? That suffering for His sake is worth an eternal weight in glory? That comfort is fleeting and joy (not momentary happiness) is what we are to run after in this life? . Time FLIES. We’re already sobered by that reality. Every single day we must all be aware of the weight it is to shepherd a souls and self check our own walks with the Lord-that our attitudes, hearts and priorities are reflecting the Lords priorities, the Lords heart and passions to our children. If they aren’t we must repent before the Lord and our children and start anew. . . Having our children angry at us for taking away something, skipping a game, removing a form of technology etc is nothing compared to loosing their souls. They will give an account for their lives-we wont give the account for them. . We must be shepherding their souls-above our own comfort and above their temporary happiness. The Lord will equip and embolden us. These efforts will not be wasted. Soldier on today, tired momma. Lead on today, weary Father. Be consistent in discipline knowing these seeds can and will be watered, all the while praying for God to open their hearts to Him. . .

“Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he falls.” . . Sobering, vision casting and good reminders this morning. May we stand unashamed on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May we not waver no matter how uncomfortable, unpopular or inconvenient. For we will give an account to our all sufficient, all loving, all powerful God. I pray that when I do it will be said “Well done good and faithful servant.” Compared to this all else is meaningless. . . So lets run. Run in such a was as to win a prize. Knowing that we have a great high priest who intimately knows and loves us-who knit us together in our mother’s womb. May we aim, may we run, may we seek to please Him with all that we are. Surrendering selfishness, pride and comfort that He may be lifted up. .
