 In 2 Corinthians 6:16-18
we read some of the most intimate, caring, and loving aspects of our
relationship with God our Father. Here, our Father calls us out of
darkness to come into His light; He calls us out of uncleanness to come
into His purity; He calls us out of the yoke of bondage to come into His
rest; He calls us out of lawlessness to come into His righteousness; He
calls us out of idolatry to come into His presence; He calls us out of
Satan’s domain to come into union with His Son.When we respond to His call upon our lives we remove our hands from all that would defile and our feet from all that would mislead. Instead, we touch mercy and grace, we seek all that is pure and holy, and we follow all that is true and good. Hear the call of your loving Father:
I will dwell in you—the Father abides in you.

I will welcome you—the Father receives you. I will be a Father to you—the Father nurtures you. You shall be a son to Me—the Father calls you His own. You shall be a daughter to Me—the Father calls you His own. http://thoughts-about-god.com/ ______________________________  follow us on Facebook follow us on TwitterFor Mobile Devices – God-daily.com Share/Save |

“Honor your father and mother,
as the Lord your God commanded you. Then you will live a long, full life
in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” Deuteronomy 5:16
When I entered my teen years and was first married, I tended to focus
on what I thought my dad did wrong. However, now I have raised my own
family and have married grandchildren and I find myself thinking more
and more on what my dad did right and how his godly life style has been
passed on to four generations.
I thank the Lord for my dad!
The following are some of things my dad did right!
• He raised us to fear God and follow Him.
There are many more good things I remember about my dad, but today I just want to say:• He loved his family and prayed for us. • He was faithful to my mother all of her life. • He enjoyed life. He liked to play jokes on people. • He worked very hard to provide for the family– we had a large family and beside the dairy farm, he also worked at another job to make ends meet. • He taught his children how to work hard. • He demonstrated hospitality. Even though there were seven children and we lived in a small house, we often had some his nephews living with us. There was always room for one more. • He was very generous, gave a lot of money to the Lord. Near the end of his life, he worked at a Thrift store and often gave furniture to people who weren’t able to pay. • He provided transportation for seniors who needed to go to the doctor, he visited the sick. Almost to the day he went for surgery and died he was helping others. Thank you Lord, for giving us godly fathers who do their best to raise their family in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. Lord bless them and encourage them to keep on doing what is right. Amen. You can comment on this devotional online at: http://thoughts-about-god.com/ Share/Save |
