THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS

DAILY DEVOTIONS
HI!

<><><><><>

Mom and Dad came to pick up junior at the baby sitter's. Mom said, "Did you have any trouble with Junior? He's usually as good as gold."

The baby sitter said, "Well, he went off the gold standard about an hour ago!"

Prov 29:14-18
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
KJV

Children are funny sometimes. At times they need correction, and at times they correct themselves, and just need loving. Sometimes they demonstrate genius, and sometimes they are totally lacking in integrity.

God "faithfully judgeth" His children! He knows when we need correction and when we need loving!

God knows how to use His "children" to form a nation or make changes in the world.

Consider the following:

1. Abraham repeatedly showed weakness in lying,
   
2. Sarah laughed at God's prophecy of having a child,
   
3. Moses was a murderer,
   
4. Rahab was a harlot,
   
5. So was David,
   
6. Jonah was a rebellious and prejudiced man,
   
7. Elijah was a pouter,
   
8. Peter denied Christ,
   
9. And Paul was a persecutor of Christians.
   

((And those are only a FEW examples!))

But God corrected them when they needed correction.
God loved them when they needed loving.
And God changed history with those people!

He can do it with YOU too! Look at all those whom God has used, and know that He can also use YOU!

Love ya,

There's no vision better than that vision of BEING what God WANTS me to be!
