Beholding and Becoming #5
It's not of eternal value, but accidentally I posted #6 before #5.
The title of chapter 5 is "Beholding and Becoming God's Example For Family."
Simons says, "Keep rehearsing the truth of who God is and what's He's done, so that not a moment goes by in your family's everyday life without a reminder that God is good and God is near."
I think I've recommended Chris Tomlin's children's book The Good, Good Father to you before. It's a wonderful read for any age.
Just as parents are kind to their children, the Lord is kind to all who worship him."
Psalm 103:13
Years ago, I had a friend who moved to a new neighborhood. Her husband, a physician, had an early morning habit of sitting at the kitchen table and reading his Bible before he left for work. Several months after their move the next door neighbor inquired if that was what she was seeing this man do faithfully do each morning. We never know who is watching and the impact our actions have.
Make opening God's Word a daily habit with your family. Discuss the goodness of God everyday! It may be the only faith boost encounter they have all day.
