IT'S WHAT WE DO
READ:
Proverbs 14:26 NIV
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Whoever fears the
LORD has a secure
fortress, and for
their children it
will be a refuge.

My father was critically injured when he took a bullet in the leg as a second lieutenant leading his men on Hill 609 in North Africa during World War 2. Dad was never again 100 percent physically. I was born several years after this, and when I was young I didn't even know he had been wounded. I found out later when someone told me. Although he felt constant pain n his leg, my dad never complained about it, and he never used it as an excuse for not providing for our family.
My parents loved the Savior and raised us to love, trust, and serve him. Through good times and bad, they simply trusted God, worked hard, and loved us unconditionally. Proverbs 14:26 says that "Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge" (NIV). My dad did that for our family. No matter what difficulties he faced, he provided a safe place for us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
We parents can provide a safe haven for our families with the help of our perfect heavenly Father, whose love for His children is deep and eternal. __Dave Branon

In what ways do you honor Him in your family life?

******************************Today's Bible Reading __ Psalm 112***************************
1 praise the LORD!
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who delights
greatly in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; the
generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches
will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; he is
gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good
man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affairs with
discretion. 6 surely he will never be shaken; the righteous will
be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil
tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart
is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire
upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his
righteousness endures forever; his horn will be exalted with
honor. 10 The wicked will see it and be grieved; he will gnash
his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

This Pslam is the second of a series of
"Hallelujah Psalms" (PSS. 111-117), so named because they all begin
with "Hahelu Yah" or "Praise the Lord." Psalm 112 develops the
concluding thought of Psalm 111:10: "The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom." Psalm 112 celebrates the blessedness of
the person who diligently and lovingly obeys the Lord's commands
(v.1). That person is honorable, gracious, kind, honest, and known
for integrity (vv.5-9). In contrast, the psalm describes the emptiness
and the grievous end of the wicked (v.10). ___SIM KAY TEE
