2 Samuel 8:1-9:13; Habakkuk 1:1-17; Romans 14:19-15:13
And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 1 Samuel 8:3
Does this verse make you feel better about your kids? Some of the greatest burdens we bear, are when our adult children make decisions that dishonour the Lord. How do we handle this? First, we should be honest and not cover up the spiritual shortcomings of our children. Secondly, don’t cripple yourself with regret. Their failure is not an indictment of your parenting skills. Remember God is the best Father of all and His children often don’t walk in
His ways. We should not take undue credit when they succeed neither should we blame ourselves when they fail. Trust God! The last chapter of their book has not been written yet. —Sid Halsband
Simply trusting every day; trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small, trusting Jesus, that is all. —Edgar Stites
