"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever."
It is interesting how much we can learn from our children. How they so innocently and simply point out things that we overlook or take for granted. Last night as we were going through our bedtime routine and came to our prayer time, my wife and I were once again reminded by our son of the simple fundamentals of living for God that we tend to over-complicate. His prayer was simple, "Dear Lord, thank you for this day. Please help us to obey and to learn your wisdom." We were floored! Keep in mind that he's only 3 1/2 years old. I don't know how he came up with this prayer. We've often times taught our children to pray for help with obedience, but "to learn your wisdom," is not a phrase we regularly use... I think we may start though.
Some things to consider...
~Do you over-complicate your walk with God?
~Do you pray for God to help you to obey His will?
~Do you pray for Godly wisdom?
~Do you thank God for your day? (There's always something to be thankful for.)
Thoughts???
God bless,
Patrick
