Christian DevotionalTrust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Betty is a widow with a teenaged son. Over the years she talked with her son Bryan about sexual purity and trusted him.

Then he admitted to her he had visited pornographic sites over a year ago. Bryan stopped the habit after confessing his sin to male counselors at a Christian summer camp.

Betty was crushed!  How could Bryan have lied to her so easily for so long?

But she was also pleased with her son’s honesty and for asking Jesus to control his life.  She then gave Bryan new guidelines and now tracks his computer usage.  He’s also involved in a church youth group.

Friend, dedicate your son or daughter to God. Trust Him for guidance. Seek God’s answers and keep the communication open. Pray for them. Be vigilant in monitoring your child’s activities. And love them to Jesus!

Daily Christian DevotionalIt’s easy to forget who’s the servant and who’s to be served. The tool of distortion is one of Satan’s slyest.  When the focus is on yourself, you worry that your co-workers won’t appreciate you.  Your leaders will overwork you.  With time, your agenda becomes more important than God’s. You’re more concerned with presenting self than pleasing Him.  You may even find yourself doubting God’s judgment.

Remember Mary criticizing her sister Martha, “Lord don’t you care that my sister has left me alone to do all the work?  Tell her to help me.” (Luke 10:40) What had Mary chosen?  She’d chosen to sit at the feet of Christ.  God is more pleased with the quiet attention of a sincere servant than the noisy service of a sour one!

Guard your attitude. If you concern yourself with your neighbor’s talents, you’ll neglect your own. But if you concern yourself with yours, you could inspire both!
