Today we continue our devotions from the book “Time with God for Fathers by Jack Countryman.”
Proverbs 1:33 (NIV) leads us to a biblical application of a ‘home security system…’
“but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.'”
A growing number of people fail to seek God’s wisdom in living. It is no secret that we live in a “me first” culture.
Often we seek ourselves, against all warnings and conventional wisdom. Thoughts of our future, our safety, our selfish desires…while not giving any thought to the impact on people of around us.
Living this way is spiritually irresponsible and a dangerous way to live. If we try to live apart from God’s wisdom, we will struggle with fear, disillusionment, doubt, worry and frustration. Our lives fall apart when we do not consult the wisdom of God.
The smartest way to build a safe home and lifestyle is to involve our savior every step of the way.
Romans 5:3-4 (NIV)
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
A leader’s character is demonstrated in how they handle unpleasant and stressful situations. We’ve talked before how God will use trials to mature and develop us.
No one likes trials, that’s obvious. But when we learn to see our trials as situations to grow, we begin to walk down the path God has placed ahead of us.
It is important to remember that He will walk with you through these trials too. Even as you struggle and grow, God will give you the strength to continue.
His loving grace washes over us like sunlight on a cloudless day.
