It makes me yearn for living a life that would result is blessings to the future generations. When this passage talked about preparing sons for slaughter because of the guilt of their fathers it made me think about how important it is for us to train our children up so that they make a relationship with Christ their own. I'm thankful that even when our background and family is not something we choose, that we are able to choose the way we live our life and the direction we want to go. Our past does not have to define our future. We are free to choose repentance and forgiveness. <br /><br />I thought of that kid's song too! The lamp under a basket reminded of a devotion that I heard on the radio awhile ago. The devotion was about doing construction work in the dark. No one would buy a house built in the dark. Our lives should be a light to those who need it....those who are "building" in the dark. If we can provide the light needed to see what they are doing (or not doing) then maybe they can build in their lives something that will be solid and will stand. <br /><br />Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-34618405287828773242015-01-27T22:03:21.115-06:002015-01-27T22:03:21.115-06:00Love the beginning of our Isaiah passage...

How thankful I am for God's grace to me!<br /><br />I love the portion in Mark about Jesus calming the story. What incredible power! Can you imagine being witness to such an event? <br /><br />Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-5790753798137241462015-01-27T21:58:03.358-06:002015-01-27T21:58:03.358-06:00As I was reading the passage in Mark, I saw a conn...As I was reading the passage in Mark, I saw a connection between the lamp and the seeds. As Nathan said, we turn on the light to expose what is hidden, well a seed needs to be planted to see what is hidden inside it too. <br /><br />We need to expose the message of Jesus to the unsaved. God is the one who makes the seed sprout and grow, we just need to plant the seed!Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378594821836169485noreply@blogger.com
