Answered Prayers

I recognize my weaknesses as a Christian, a husband, and a father. That is why it is so important to humble ourselves(myself) before God and rely on his grace and guidance. Since the birth of each of our children, one of my most regular prayers has been that God would make up for my weaknesses, that he would do far above what my abilities were in raising them, that he would add to my feable efforts. He has been faithful! Add to God's help, a wonderful fellowship and a strong family heritage of faith.
This weekend we were able to gather in Church as two of our children(and 3 other young adults) gave their testimony of faith before our congregation. A testimony of repentance and conversion, forgiveness and peace. A testimony of the redemptive power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Today, as a public confession and symbol of being dead to sin and living a new life in Christ, they were baptised before a church full of family and friends, brothers and sisters. What a blessing it has been to watch the faithfulness of God! What a blessing it was to be surrounded by the love of Christ! Undeserving, I have truly been blessed, and I am thankful.
But, the greatest blessing goes to those who remember the creator in the days of their youth, who are willing to submit to his word, and seek to serve him all the days of their lives. The reward is eternity in heaven with our Savior.
Answered prayers.

Psalm 1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
