VENTING
Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 1-4

Might I vent? I'll try not to rant and rave, holler and yell. I will resist the urge to pound my fists on the arms of my rocking chair and stomp my feet with indignation towards the matter at hand.

I am tired of seeing families fall apart. I am weary of hearing story after story of divorces, break-ups, separations, squabbles and feuds. I am sick up to here, my hand is at my chin, with wives and husbands who fail to live up to the vows they have vowed and the promises they have made.

I am near exhaustion at trying to fight back the urge to yell from the tops of my lungs, "God's what you need!"

The Bible reading this morning is a genealogical listing of God's people. A family line. A honor roll of those desiring to see God's best for their predecessors.

What will you do today to insure your family's future in God's hands? What choice will you make to, if for no more than today, take a stand of godliness for your family and its future?

Will you be a link in a chain of godliness? A link in a chain of godlessness? A link in a new line of believers?
