I have no posts since September, so I thought I really should post something. I hope you all had a blessed Christmas season, as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Saviour, who came down from heaven to be incarnate man, so He could then suffer and die on the cross for all of our sins. I wish you the Lord's blessing on your upcoming year as you seek to raise your children in the ways of the Lord, that you and they might be lights reflecting God power and glory to the world around. In line of that thought, take some time to read 1 Kings 10:1-9, and note how Solomon shone that glory of the Lord in his kingdom to the world around. He didn't run around to the nations and giving them the gospel (not that that is wrong), but rather lived it in word and deed making a great impact on the nation of Israel and the world around. Word of this unique nation, which served the living God (not dumb images) and followed a unique set of laws, that allowed the worship of only one God which resulted in wisdom and justice and righteousness. The Queen of Sheba came to seek out this king as the light of the Lord shone forth from his kingdom. Sometimes we busy ourselves with this that and the other thing, when we really should pay more attention to how we are actually living. May we too shine to the world around that they might see something different and desirable about our lives and how we live, speak and act, how we train our children up, that they too might come and ask us, just as the queen of Sheba came to Solomon. We can only do this if we rely totalling on our God.
Blessings to you all.
