We all go through times like this!

We all go through many different seasons, some good, and some not so good. We experience mountain top scenarios, and we go through the valleys of life. It’s easy to praise God when things are great, but it is a challenge when we go through the difficulties of life. Jesus did say that we would experience tribulation in the world. But He also told us that we are to be of good cheer because He overcame the world (John 16:33). Remember today that our faith is not a religious badge. It is living trust and faith in God in Christ. It is being confident in His faithful word and nature. God is faithful. God is Love! His word is The Rock that we can build our lives and homes upon. Even when we go through uncertain moments, we know that our loving God works all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Trust Him in the good times and in the difficult times. He is our sure refuge!

Psalm 62:8 “Trust Him at all times, you people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge”

Your sons and daughters await you!

“In every son, there is a father.” This is such a powerful truth. As fathers filled with the Holy Spirit, we have the honor and privilege of raising up strong oak trees in the house of the Lord. Ask God every day for wisdom, grace and patience, so that you can raise your children in the ways and admonition of the Lord. The principle of parenting also extends to every Christian, whether or not you are a natural father or mother, and even if you do not have natural children. We are all called to disciple those that God places in our care. We should all strive to be “fathers and mothers” in the house of the Lord. Our natural and spiritual children are all bombarded with evil philosophies and teachings every day, and they are tempted and attacked like we are. It is incumbent upon us to cover them with God’s love, and lovingly train them in the way that they should go. See yourself today as someone that our Heavenly Father wants to work with and through in this confused world. Your sons and daughters await you!

Ephesians 6:4 “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord”
