Have You Ever Or Would You Willing to Train a Child?

Have You Ever Or Would You Be Willing to Train a Child?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those involved in the training up children in the way they should go. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Teaching a child faith lessons early on can save their life.

King Solomon in Proverbs 22:6 (ESV) shares about the lifelong impact.

“Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Don’t underestimate of this early training. Even if a person goes astray along the way, later years the person can have a time of restoration and reconciliation.

Were you trained up in the way you should go?

Think back of those who helped train and encourage you. Do you think it would be appropriate to say. “Thank you?” Don’t delay in acknowledging those who have poured their lives into yours. Tell me what you think below.

Are You Persecuted?

Are You Persecuted?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who in the face of persecution persist in their faith. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever felt like someone is out to get you, and that that someone is almost about to succeed?

In Ancient Israel we learn of a similar situation in Psalm 119:86-87 (ESV) where the persecutors are about to prevail.

“All your commandments are sure;
they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
They have almost made an end of me on earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.”

Even in the face of the adversity, the psalmist maintains firm reliance on God’s commandments and precepts.

Do the attacks seem relentless?

Even in the face of adversity, stay focused on God’s word.

Delivered My Soul From Death!

Delivered My Soul From Death!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “You have delivered my soul from death.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

How would you like to be able to defeat death?

In Psalm 116:6-9 (ESV) the psalmist not only says, “He (the Lord) saved me,” he goes on to talk about his soul being delivered from death. This is good news.

“The Lord preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
Return, O my soul, to your rest;
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.”

John 3:16 (ESV) is a verse about being saved from death.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

What have you done to deserve eternal life? Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. Be saved.

There Is None Who Does Good!

There Is None Who Does Good!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who acknowledge their sinfulness and rejoice they have a savior. In Jesus’ name, amen.

We cannot change the reality of our inherent sinful nature. We can, however, seek and find Jesus, the savior of the world. Romans 3:23 (ESV) says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Psalm 53:2-3 (ESV) addresses this issue of sin:

“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.

God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.

They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.”

In desperate need of a savior? If you have been seeking answers to life’s most pressing questions, maybe it is time to open and read the Bible. Don’t wait. Search scripture for answers to life’s most pressing questions.

Women Active in the Marketplace!

Women Active in the Marketplace!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for Proverbs 31 Women who are active in the marketplace.

The Proverbs 31 Wife has admirable qualities.

A few of these qualities are mentioned in Proverbs 31:17-18 (ESV).

“She dresses herself with strength
and makes her arms strong.
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.”

This wise woman is interested in her merchandise making a profit.

By saying that her lamp does not go out, we see she has planned ahead. Her lamp oil does not run out.

A man with such a wife should be very grateful, indeed.
