When I see the morning and evening news shows it can cause me to fear. I wonder what kind of world will my grandchildren grow up in? When I see reports about the school system and how it has moved so completely away from teaching our children absolutes, I wonder what will it be like for my grandchildren to grow up in a world where people can believe whatever they want to believe - or not believe. When I see the TV shows, movies, music and books and the messages they promote I wonder how my grandchildren will be able to find their way through all these God-less messages. The world can be a frightening place.
But, thankfully, even though I may look at the world and sometimes feel helpless, I'm not helpless! I will do as David said and praise the LORD with all my heart! I will honor and celebrate His great name because I know when I pray to Him, He listens and acts! God is there; I do not have to be discouraged and do not have to give up hope! There is nothing more important to me than for my grandchildren to come to know Jesus and then to know and walk with Him all their lives! Nothing matters more. The good news is this matters to God, too! He loves my grandchildren - and your grandchildren as well! He wants them to know and walk with Him, even more than I do!
So, this is one grandma who will pray for her grandchildren! This is one grandma who will share her love for God with her grandchildren! I will pray for my son and daughter-in-law as they parent my dear grandchildren and join them in passing on a heritage of faith! This is one grandma who will keep my eyes on the LORD and shine with His amazing love so my grandchildren will see and want to know Him, too!
As you pray for and think about your grandchildren this week, look for opportunities to let God's amazing love shine through you so they will see it! Make these lyrics from Rebecca St. Jame's cd - I Will Praise You,
When I run, lead me. When I sleep, keep me. When I wake Father speak with me. Oh Majesty!
Light of the world, light up this day. God I long to see your face. Oh shine your glory down. Light of the world be on display. And every heart will sing your praise. Oh shine your glory down!
Light of the world, light up this day. God I long to see your face. Oh shine your glory down. Light of the world be on display. And every heart will sing your praise. Oh shine your glory down!
With each breath fill me. With each step free me. When I love, Father love through me. Oh Majesty!
Light of the world, light up this day. God I long to see your face. Oh shine your glory down. Light of the world be on display. And every heart will sing your praise. Oh shine your glory down!
I do not walk in darkness. I will not live in fear. I'll walk in Your light.
Light of the world, light up this day. God I long to see your face. Oh shine your glory down. Light of the world be on display. And every heart will sing your praise. Oh shine your glory down! Light of the world be on display. And every heart will sing your praise. Oh shine your glory down!
