We would do well to ask ourselves this question before any word or deed:

Does this please only me, or does it also please my Heavenly Father?

"Just two choices on the shelf, pleasing God or pleasing self." (Ken Collier)

"Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42)

God doesn't allow suffering into our lives with no purpose. One of those purposes is to draw us deeper into His presence.

Just as the winter cold drives one closer to the warming fire, so the bitter grief of this life invites us into His embrace.

"I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him." (Elisabeth Elliot)

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death." (Philippians 3:10)

Happy Father's Day to our dads, grandfathers, and the godly mentors who lead the fatherless. We love and appreciate you!

This verse (spoken about Abraham) comes to mind when I think of godly men who lead their families in following Jesus.

"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment." (Genesis 18:19)
