IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, JULY 6, 2010
Praise Reports, Prayer Requests and Updates:
It’s back to work week activities! Even so, praising the LORD is good.
Children – Grandchildren.
When they have questions and they do! Often lots of them!
Journey (A LifeWay Publication) gives some wise counsel:
“And when they have questions, show them truth in Scripture.”
Amen! What better way to give a child a firm foundation from which to make choices? And you know what is a great added bonus? We get BACK UP! God Himself becomes our BACK UP because He is the one who has said this behavior is not best for you and this behavior is best for you!
Ooh! I like this bit of counsel very much! Do you?
Proverbs 22: (New International Version) 5 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them. 6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
I think this applies to Mothers too.
Ephesians 6: (New International Version) 4Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
And just like I am telling you as we read this next text we can tell our children, our grandchildren, nieces and nephews — “Don’t shoot the Messenger here, I am as much subject to this counsel as you are. And you know what I’m the better for it. So are you. “
Titus 2: (New American Standard Bible) 3Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
The Word of Our Father – the BACK UP we ALL need!

I like this DADDY. My only regret is I did not call upon You for BACK UP sooner. But thank You, Thank You that now I have and You are teaching still, even the older of us. Amen, LORD JESUS, Amen.
Not forgetting to pray for our IDOK Troops this morning. Not forgetting to pray for our List of People we know and love and those we love and don’t know yet, for each we ask peace and safety in this hostile world; for each we thank You that even in a war zone we are safe with You; that nothing touches us without first passing through Your Loving, Strong Hands. Amen and Amen in JESUS NAME.
