After
James’ first and second day at school, his teacher sent me a couple great email
reports! I was thrilled! I know it won’t always be smooth sailing, but this
helped me relax some. I will continue to encourage him in the right direction, give
him regular (if not daily 😊)
reminders, and appropriately discipline, but I’m not the one in control. God is
ultimately in control of everything and everyone.
Paul lovingly and carefully
instructed the Romans, and then ended his letter acknowledging they were in
God’s hands.
Romans
16:25-27 25 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim
about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for
long ages past, 26 but
now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of
the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that
comes from faith— 27 to
the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
God
has given Joe and me the responsibility to lead James and Sarah well, as their
parents. As we seek to be godly parents in our interactions, instructions,
example, and choices, we can trust the outcome to God. He’s the One in control,
with all power, all wisdom and all authority for all eternity!
What
relationship, situation, person, or potential problem do you and I need to
leave in God’s care? We’re called to follow God, do our part, and lead well,
but the outcome is in God’s hands. Let’s trust Him with it!
