Teach Them to Trust God

Matthew 7:7, 11 AMPC

[7] Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

[11] If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!

Reflection

Trust and mistrust is a stage of development for each of us. We learn as small children if the world is a friendly place or a hard place based on the encounters we have in our environment, especially our parents and guardians. Unfortunately, any wrong perception is easily transferred to God and we wonder, can He be trusted?

We have an opportunity to get it right with the next generation, by showing them the true promises of our Father, Jehovah. We show them through our lives that His promises are YES and AMEN 🙏

Prayer

Lord, thank You for Your Word which is available to us everyday. Thank You because indeed, we can ask You for anything and You will do just as Your Word has promised. You did not withhold Your Only Son, what can You withhold from us? Thank You because our children don't need to run to the world, they have You and You are available and easy to reach. Blessed be Your name Lord as You help us to show our children Your goodness everyday.

In Jesus name, amen.

Shalom ☕🌼

What Drives You?

What Drives You? Have you ever paused to ask yourself, “What drives me?” Why do you do what you do? Why is it important to you? Is it your personal choice to do it? Take a moment to reflect on these questions. Our past shapes us, but it doesn’t have to dictate our future. God is a God of second chances and even third chances. He hasn’t given up on us; He is still pursuing even the one sheep missing from the pen. As 2 Peter 3:9 (NLT) reminds us:  “The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” Think about what truly motivates you. Is it a passion, a calling, or a sense of duty? Reflect on how God’s patience and grace have given you the opportunity to pursue your purpose. Embrace these second chances and move forward with renewed determination and faith. Action Point: This week, set aside some quiet time to journal about your motivations a...

Raising Children with Purpose: Parenting Through Obedience, Seasons, and Stewardship

“So David did as God commanded him...” – 1 Chronicles 14:16 (AMPC) Parenting is one of the most sacred and significant roles entrusted to us by God. It requires more than love and provision—it demands discernment, obedience, and a deep understanding of God’s timing and purpose. Through biblical reflection, we find timeless wisdom to guide us in stewarding our children well. In this article, this week we draw lessons from three foundational scriptures that highlight obedience, purpose, and financial wellness in parenting. 1. Obedience Is Not Optional “So David did as God commanded him...” – 1 Chronicles 14:1 David's success in battle was not because he relied on past strategies but because he returned to God for direction each time. This highlights a profound truth: God does not always repeat patterns, even if they previously worked. Parenting, likewise, requires fresh instruction from God for each child, because each child carries a unique blueprint. No two children ar...
