“Were you formed for this world only, there would be some form to this objection, but how strange such an objection sounds coming from an heir of eternity. Pray, what is your time given to you for? Is it not principally that you may prepare for eternity? And have you no time then for what is the greatest business of your lives? To train your own children in the things of God?”
-Samuel Davies ( Southern counterpart to Jonathan Edwards in the great revival of the 1740’s)
Lord, thank you for this reminder that my time is well-spent in this home. Keep me focused on the vital role you have for me as my children step into young adulthood. Give me words that they can hear regarding who You are and how they are to love (obey) and enjoy You. Give us eyes that see You as You really are, not eyes that are dulled by lesser pleasures.
