Living Proverbs 22:6

"Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it"
Proverbs 22:6

Right out the window....

You know, some days just seem to start off wrong. You roll out of bed late, try to hurry and shuffle your kids up...hit your toe on the doorway, dropping everything on the floor...stuff hitting you in the face from the cupboard. Hurry - Hurry!! Grump, grump, grump!! I can't find my shoes...WHAT?! Why didn't you put them away...the bus is coming!!

We've all had mornings/days like this right?! Man...I know we've had more than I would like to admit. But lately, the Holy Spirit has been grabbing me in those moments (Praise God for that!). It will surly start off with a sharp word towards my kids and/or a poor attitude...but oh how HE reminds me of His truth and grace. To step back and look at the whole picture, not just the one that is literally hitting me in the face! =)

How are you presenting yourself? Are you those words you proclaim or teach them?? Wow...a daily moment by moment struggle at times. We are the greatest witness and testimony of Christ to our children. Only if we are walking closely in a relationship with our Father can we live that out in front of our children.

So how is today? Have you had a morning and already thrown your day out the window?? How are you viewing and living out this day, this gift that the Lord has allowed. Are you trashing it with your attitude or are you using it wisely for Him. Are you laying down your day for Him...your life for Him?? Our natural actions are so opposite of God's.

Even though we are Christians we still will battle with the flesh...the sin we were born into. God can prevail over that but only if we allow Him to work. Making the choice to submit to the Father's will for today. Does that mean the day will go smoothly and we will have no worries...ABSOLUTELY NOT. But viewing what this day brings us through the view of the Father makes it much easier. He gives us all the tools we need to live out each day through His word.

But it is our responsibility to get in that word and apply it...to live it!

"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers." Psalm 1:1-3

Oh, how God has been speaking to me through this verse!
