My little addition to Our Daily Bread (9/17/11):
So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites: "This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt
This verse stuck out to me in conjunction with a quote from Max Lucado that the local Christian music station has been playing from an interview with him earlier this month. While I may not get it totally correct, he was seeking to encourage parents by telling us that we are probably doing better than they think they are. This encouragement is based on the same truth the above verse points out: whenever God calls His people to some task (whether passing through the wilderness to a promised land or training a child into man or woman of godly character) He provides what is needed to make it happen. This has been a promise to hold to as I am taking on the new role of “homeowner” and wondering if I’m up to the challenge. But I fully believe this new home is a gift from God for me and my family, and I remember this quote from Henry Ford that I posted August 25:
I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?
