S - Genesis 31:32 But as for your gods, see if you can find them, and let the person who has taken them die!
O - Jacob had fled from Laban and taken all his possessions and his wives and children and set out for Canaan. When Laban found out he chased after him and when he caught up with him he searched for the idols that Rachel had taken from his house. Jacob said whoever took them would die. He didn't realize that Rachel had indeed taken them and even though Laban wasn't able to find them, Jacob's statement had been a very dangerous statement and could have caused him great pain as he would have had to choose between killing the wife that he loved most or making his word not true. Either would have been bad for him.
A - I too need to be very careful with my words and not to be flippant with the words that I choose or to exaggerate things. I desire to be a man of integrity and accountability so by controlling my tough and only saying things that I know I will be able to do will greatly aid me becoming that person. I need to rely on God for His guidance and follow His lead with what I say as He will be able to help me keep those words.
P - Heavenly Father, I ask for your help in being a man of integrity and accountability. You are truly amazing and have never lied so I need your help and your guidance every single day. Bless our words and actions today and I give you any cares and worries that I have around this adoption. If this is the child that you have for us, I pray that you pave the way for us and I give you all my anxieties. However, if this is not the child for us please make it that we do not get chosen and give us understanding of why this child was not for us and comfort us. I love you Lord and desire to be near you. Bless my family and me today.
