“Where
is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher
of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1 Corinthians
1:20
It’s
still hard to believe that there was a time in my life that I didn’t care one
bit about who God was. How there was a time in my life that no matter what
happened I actually thought I was in total control and nothing but ME mattered.
I remember my wife telling me early in our marriage that we really should be
ready to raise our kids with the understanding that God is first and foremost
and that there is absolutely, positively nothing that can ever change His love
for us or our kids..of course back then I fought it and said NO WAY!! “We are
going to raise our kids the way I say we’re gonna raise our kids! After all I’m
“the Man of the House”!!. I’m in charge!!”
Funny
how God works. I mean how could I have ever thought that the Creator of all
things, the Savior of each and every one of us, the one who loves us so much
that He would sacrifice himself so we can be in a relationship with Him now and
forever.. how could I ever think I could compete with that?
Well
you know what? I praise him everyday for “hittin’me” over the head and helping
me to understand that I could never compete with that..I praise Him everyday for
making it so clear that He was in charge and that we were going to live
His way and raise our kids in the only way that His Word implores us too.
See
I thought I had it all figured out until I finally realized and decided to put
God first in my life by choosing Him..and more than anything else I pray and
have faith that my kids will follow His lead through me and put Him first in
all they do.
If
you haven’t thought about that, I encourage you to pray about it right now..to
pray that you become the “Man of the House” that He has called you to be..Put God
first in your family, step up and let everyone know who is in charge.
