And I will teach you the way that is good and right. 1 Samuel 12:20-24
Both of our children, Megan and Zach, played sports growing up. Whether it is sports, music, or ballet, every Mom knows the value of a good coach. And every Mom and Dad in the world knows the impact of a bad coach. Stand on the sidelines of any game and you will hear the outcry of the parents. Samuel was a great prophet... I like to see him as a great coach. His responsibility was to make sure the people were in the way of the Lord. He prayed for them and his outcome was specific-to know God and make Him known. I don’t know about your kids, but if mine are left to themselves they quickly become wayward. Who is speaking into your life right now? Do you have a godly mentor? Preferably an older, wiser woman... a Titus 2 woman who will speak the truth and supply encouragement in your life. If you don’t have a mentor, ask God today to bring someone you can trust, someone who can coach you on being in the way of the Lord every day.- Bible Readings for the Week Ahead:
