DEVOTIONAL
PSALM 127
It’s wise to seek God and listen to the Lord. Inquire of the Lord and let Him write the script. Find out what God wants. Plan in pencil. Stay teachable.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
The other option is to try to force God to bless your plans. Many people try to do ministry in their own strength instead of relying on God. It can lead to discouragement and burnout. Discover where God is already working and join in the action. Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
When God gives the vision, He gives the provision.
Families are designed to serve God together. Every child is a gift from God, made in His image. Like an arrow with clear purpose and power, a child learns how to walk with God and change the world. Train a child in godliness, secure in God’s love and truth. God strongly supports anyone who is devoted to Jesus. Glorify God at every age and stage of life.
Just Choose Hope
HOPE POINT
