Words of Encouragement
March - 05 - 2006
We are to begin each day with God. Every breath we take should be a powerful reminder that our Father has granted us another day of life to serve him. Each heartbeat is God's drumbeat of love, reminding us that we are blessed with another minute to offer him our best. This blessing is so easily forgotten. We best remember these truths when we teach them and show them and live them with and before our children. But, let's not leave their learning these truths to our example alone. Let's find teachable moments to explain our faith, to praise our Heavenly Father, and to teach God's truth.
Let us read Deuteronomy 6:6-7.
6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."Let us pray.
Almighty God, and our Gracious Sustainer. Thank you! Thank you for this breath we take and for the heartbeat that sustains our lives. Make us aware as we travel and talk and rest and work that you are there and are worthy of our intentional best.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
