WHAT I HOPE HE'LL SAY
Today's reading: Job 29-30

There are lots of positive things I hope my son, Isaiah, will say about our home when he is grown.

--That he was loved.

--That he was surrounded by opportunities and encouragement.

--That he felt a part and was expected to fulfil his part in our family.

But to find words in the book of Job that I hope he will repeat surprises me...

"In my early years the friendship of God was felt in my home." Job 29:4 NLT

Is he hearing about God on a daily basis in my casual conversation? Are we instilling in him the importance of private and corporate worship by our family's commitment to church attendance and daily Bible time? Is it common for us to pray and praise?

I am full aware of the strength my walk with God provides me, but to be reminded that it's also got eternal consequences deepens its importance in my heart!
