Some of you know I have lots of children. Seven to be exact, and most of them are older and Most of them are young men except for one boy. Lately one of my youngmen have been struggling. He works at an amusement park, and is around people all day long who standards, or morals do not quite match what we(through God's grace) have tried to instill in him. All day long he is whispered at about what he should have, and what he should be doing at "his age". Today while reading the Word these verses stood out.... Proverbs 23 15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. 17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long His heart started to "envy" what these whisperers were saying to him and started to feel like he has been missing out on something in life. Really? How do we envy sinners? How do we as professing believers say "
I listened to Sam ' s sermon this morning. Such wonderful words- and powerful. You must be proud of him. I pray I remain a "weirdo" and show others that I am a believer.
