PREPARE FOR YOUR DAY

Protecting yourself from the temptations of this world begins one choice at a time.  

Romans 12:21, Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

When you finally get up this morning, you will begin to make choices for the day. The choice to get up or not. The choice of what you eat for breakfast. The choice on whether you will go to work or not. While those choice are somewhat trivial, when you chose to do your devotions, read your Bible, or share the Gospel, those things are very much important to your Spiritual success.

Will you prepare for the last day of this week better than you started it off? Will you be overcome with evil or will you overcome evil with good? It is determined by those first few choices of the day, so chose well!   

SIT DOWN FOR A MOMENT!

Ten minutes spent in Christ's society every day, aye, two minutes, if it were face to face and heart to heart, will make the whole life different. -Drummond

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

            The older we get the busier our life becomes. Many days we get so busy we don’t make time for The Lord. Or if we do make time for Him we go into our devotion time, our Bible reading, or prayer closet in a rush. Child of God, if you want to grow in God’s grace, you are going to have to sit down for a moment taking time out of your day and get alone with God! Don’t put it off—start right now! (Adapted from a post by Paul Chappell.)

Daddies, in may ways, determines destinations in life.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4

John C. Maxwell once said, Success rises and falls on leadership. In the home, God has designed the Father to be the leader. So in the family, the Father is responsible for much of the spiritual success or lack thereof in the home.

Dad, are you leading in devotions? Dad, are you taking your family to church? Dad, are you praying with your children? Dad are you spending time with your children? Dad, are you consistent in the way in which you raise your children? I believe all of us parents could use a bit of sharpening our parenting skills.
