July 27 – Psalm 17:6

I get to come down and see my newest grandson today! Such potential in a little one like that. What will he be like? What kinds of things will he be interested in?

Psalm 127:3-5 Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. I looked up “heritage.” “A gift which constitutes a proper possession.” Right now it’s easy to see him as a gift and reward, but it never changes. Take the time to train him well — and it does take time, sometimes when it seems like you don’t... Read More
