I am *not* a Proverbs person. Last year I read through the bible in a year and so I had to venture through them all, and I did find some goodies that I had never read before! This one needs to be shared because those of you with kiddos may find some use in praying this over them. Daily! Saying 14 (note, I had NEVER known there were "sayings" in Proverbs!) My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed. My inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. (Proverbs 23:15-16) Let's move past the obvious - this is for daughter's too :). At this point in my child's life...when what he is SEEING in the world doesn't align with God's "this is what you should do" list, those words are my hope. The actions of those around him, if followed, will lead to roads I pray with my whole heart that he avoids. But I believe in the power of the Word of God and because the words in saying 14 are my hope, I pray those two...
Sometimes I think God needs to wake up our hearts. My hope through this blog is to help you do that! Every once and a while the Holy Spirit prompts...and I write! I pray you find my words encouraging and yet challenging at times!
