Scripture: "Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time." Deuteronomy 4:40
Observation: I worry about raising my son well. But as long as he is a Christ-centered man and I instill that in him, the rest should fall into place. God will be with me, helping me raise him.
Application: I need to "keep his decrees and commands" so that I may pass that along to my child. I need to set a good example for him. How can I expect him to be Christ-centered if I'm not? My grandma is my inspiration in this regard and I should strive to love Christ the way she did. Her focus and drive to be nearer to God was exceptional.
Prayer: Lord, Grandma was, to me, the ultimate Christian. She was such a good role model for me and I can only strive to be like her; to be as close to You as she was. I pray that I may be that kind of person for my son. That he may look to me and want to be close to You because I draw close to You. I still have a long way to go, but I know that I will be a successful mother as long as he loves You.
