Once again
Jesus tells us that He does the things that are pleasing to His Father. He
spent a lot of time in prayer—communicating with His Father—so He knew just
what His Dad expected of Him and wanted Him to do. How much time do you spend
communicating with your Heavenly Father? Do you know just what He wants you to
do—what He expects of you? How about time spent with your children? Do you
communicate with them just what you expect of them and want them to do? Do you
tell and show them every day that you love them?
God the
Father didn’t leave Jesus alone. It is the same for us. Jesus has promised us
in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave us or forsake us. That is a promise to
which I cling—holding on tightly. Jesus is with me in the joys and sorrows of
life. I’m somewhat of an introvert—so I like my time alone…but it is wonderful
knowing that Jesus is always with me. Knowing that He is with me makes a difference
in what I think, do and say. Whatever I do…I do want to please Him. Enthusiastically.
Training Tip – Kids love talking on the phone and they love
projects with their folks. Have you ever made a string tin can phone with your
children? Save a couple of tin cans, wash them, and punch a small hole in the
closed end. Then take a string about three feet or more in length and put one
end through each of the cans. Next tie a large knot in the string so that it
can’t go back out the hole. Pull the string taunt between the cans and have one
person speak into one can while another person “listens” at the second can…they’ll
love these new phones, too! Communication with God or with other people is
essential to life. Humor is good, too. Try telling some jokes between the phones.
Whatever you say and do…do it enthusiastically!
Lord Jesus, may the words of my mouth and the
thoughts of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, for You are my rock and my
redeemer (Psalm 19:14).
