Raising Godly Children - Proverb 23

S - Proverbs 23:24 The father of godly children has cause for joy.
What a pleasure to have children who are wise.
O - Fathers who have Godly children are filled with joy.
A - One of the things that I was called to be was a father; a good, Godly father. My call is and continues to be to raise up my children in a way that not only prepares them for this world and to be the men and women of God that there were called to be but also to teach them about God and to pass along that love for Him that I have. I need to remember this daily as I often spend more time on how to live in this world than how to live in the spiritual world. By taking this time with each of my children that God has blessed me with in a way that makes sense for each of my children individually, this is when that teaching and training will be absorbed and learned. The desire of my heart is to have my children grow up with God leading their life as then I will know that they too are protected and will be blessed, even when trials and tribulations come into their lives. I want my children to want to be with Christa and I and not feel obligated to be with us, and when they are Godly men and women, they will also desire this time with us.
P - God I come to you to in thanksgiving and praise. I praise you and thank you for all that you have done in my life. I especially thank you for the children that you have blessed me with and for the future children that are not yet in my home. I pray that you give me wisdom and strength to daily train and teach them to be Godly children who are growing into Godly men and women. I pray that you would bless them today and everyday and help them to open their hearts to you and to desire you with all of their hearts. Guide me today and make our travels safe. Bless us and give us continued health.
