Scripture 1 Chron 3:1 Now these were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: The firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second, Daniel, by Abigail the Carmelitess; <\/p>\n
Observation: Your family and where you come from is important. Through first and second Kings and Chronicles it goes through the family lines and who was born to whom. It\u2019s amazing on how one king who followed God can have a son who did the opposite. Sometimes our children follow in our footsteps and when you don\u2019t get along with your children they want to be different from you. So it\u2019s more than telling our children about God we need to treat them the way God would treat them with love and discipline.<\/p>\n
Application: I was a terrible father and I haven\u2019t talked to my son in over 10 years. He seems however following in my old footsteps, with depression and not following God. I reached out to him via email and haven\u2019t heard anything back and probably won\u2019t. My daughter on the other hand has kept in touch with me and I call every Tuesday to hear her voice. I miss here and if I\u2019m lucky I get to see her once a year for a visit. My children are grown, but I can still set an example of a godly father even if it\u2019s long distance.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord I want to be a better father and a better child to you. I\u2019ve messed up my life in the past so badly, because I didn\u2019t know you then and I need your guidance now to help repair broken relationships. Help me do better in glory and honor to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
