September 13, 2016 - FATHERLY ADVICE


Day 257 - 1 Chronicles Tuesday (25-29)

“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it.” (1 Chronicles 28:9-10 ESV)

The picture looks like Theodore Cleaver (A.K.A. the Beaver) is getting a little fatherly advice from Ward Cleaver, his dad.

In our reading highlight for today, Solomon is getting fatherly advice from his dad, King David. And what advice it is!

Know the God of your father 
serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, 
seek Him and you will find Him
Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; 
be strong and do it.

Your heavenly Father has similar advice for you.

Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to...

May the Lord bless and guide you as you obediently seek His plan for your life.

Heavenly Father, please equip and motivate me to live the life that You have planned for me. Thank You for providing the motivation and example for a life of service that You have revealed to me in the life of Jesus, my Savior, in whose precious name I pray. Amen.

Pastor David Paape
