Finding God In You – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! We are on Day 1647 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from Austin Sorensen, and it is: A child is not likely to find a father in God unless he finds something of God in his father.
Finding God In You
Godly parenting is not easy, but it is essential. How a child views life, their role in the world, and their concept of God often comes from how effective we are as parents. I realize that each child has their own will and is ultimately responsible for the decisions and choices they make in life, but that does not absolve us as parents and grandparents, to set them on the right path, and point them in the right direction. There is a verse in Proverbs that shares some good advice for us. Proverbs 22:6 - Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it. This verse is not a guarantee that your children will not deviate, but it certainly provides them with a path to which they can return based on your divine direction. If you are a father or grandfather (or hope to be at some point), your responsibility is even greater. Since God’s Word refers to God as our heavenly father, our children’s perception of God will largely be determined by how they view you as a father. Your children are not likely to find a father in God unless they see God-like qualities in you as their father. I urge you as parents, and especially fathers, to live a good and godly life before your children at all times. It will have a significant impact on their lives throughout eternity. The most powerful way to build God’s kingdom on earth is through your family, especially your children. When they see and follow your example of a godly life based on the precepts found in God’s Word, they are likely to pass that example onto their children. These practices can be passed on through many generations, which will impact all of eternity. Never underestimate your impact on building God’s kingdom, especially as a godly father. It is then your children will see an all-loving God as their heavenly father. Be a good and holy leader and example to your children.
Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.
