DECISIONS

Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not to thy own understanding. Acknowledge HIM in all your ways and HE will direct thy paths."

The above passage of scripture is one I always cling to when faced with making an important decision. I must consult the Lord, knowing that HE knows what is best for me. After all, HE did create me and HE has a plan and purpose for my life. As a parent, you are faced with the responsibilty of making important decisions on behalf of your children. I am so thankful that I can seek the Lord and know that HE will guide me. Often parents will say, "There is no instruction booklet on raising children." I firmly disagree. God has given us HIS WORD to lead us and guide us. As children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), surely HE wants to be involved in the decisions we make on their behalf.  My hope is that parents would utilize another precious gift from the LORD - the HOLY BIBLE.  It's up to us parents to STUDY GOD'S WORD, PRAY and SEEK HIM in our daily lives. Then we can know and understand HIS instruction for our lives.
