Raising your Child by Rodney Howard Browne

---

As the high minister, he was responsible, once every year, to enter the Most Holy Place and provide a making amends sacrifice for the state.
He judged, he instructed the folk in matters of worship, he gave counsel he applied his complete life to serving in the church of The Lord God and ministering to the requirements of his family. But he used to be a passive, inactive pop who indulged his boys.
Eli's pointless boys denied God's instructions and reserved the choicest cuts of beef for their dining table. Along with their outrageous disregard for the sacrifices of The Lord God, they were bizarre men who took sexual virtue of the girls who came to worship. And they really did so without shame, right there in the house of Almighty God. You might think a real man of the Lord God like Eli would be enraged.
Remember, he also served as lsrael's judge, suggesting that his responsibility was to perform justice for God. These boys of brazen lust should have been carried to the fringe of town and stoned to death. It's been my observation that Eli's paralysis of leadership isn't surprising. To avoid his destiny, every one of us today must recognize that our family could really simply finish up like Eli's.
Yes, any family can come unraveled-an elder's family, a clergyman's family, a missionary family whose pa walks with Almighty God and pours his heart into a church-rich, poor, healthy, strained
It is straightforward to lose your bearings in the hurricane. You can't find your way thru the circumstances you are facing. In Luke's words,'All hope of our being saved' is deserted. At that tough, gut-wrenching moment, God claims,'Don't be scared, I'm in possession of a plan.'. Folk facing intense difficulty find it tough to target anything apart from the soaring waves and stinging winds. We've heard from the Lord that none will be lost.'
Your bent will be to turn to another source for strength instead of the Word of the Lord. The sole anchor of stability that will hold you firm, regardless of how intense the gale-force winds, is God's written Word. All this makes me think about a statement made by one of the normal Jewish prophets, which supports the trustworthiness of the Lord God and His Word. 'Do not fear, I have called you by name.' What a great thought. Isaiah was not writing of literal waters or precise brooks.

About Rodney Howard Browne

Rodney Howard Browne explains that even in human relations, you can fail if you don't work on the relationship and if you leave everything up to the other person. WE are folk who need to stick to the Lord. Accept accountability for your life and your blessing ; don't be lazy, lackadaisical, or messy in your walk with the Father ; do not take Him for granted. If you want God's best in your life, if you want His blessings, you need to press in to Him and stick to Him and His word as if your life depends on it as it does.
