Advice For The Young At Heart

 

Oh, how I love Your law!  It is my meditation all the day.  Psalm 119:97


Our two sons are very independent and sometimes (EDIT: ALWAYS) stubborn (sheesh, I wonder where they got that from!?)  For instance, our oldest is having trouble pulling his car up our steep driveway without bottoming out or spinning the tires.  I have tried to teach Elliott how to follow the outside path of the driveway to avoid all of this but despite my advice, he took the driveway at the steepest part, spun his tires and was extremely frustrated with me the other day.  

Anytime we are facing important issues or decisions, we should always seek our loving Father’s advice.  There truly is no topic to big or small that we cannot seek God on.  One of the best places to begin looking for advice is the Word of God, but often times, we seek other people’s input and advice and do not seek God in the process.

We must learn to read and study His Word and then learn to apply it to our lives, regardless of what issue or decision we are facing.  In doing so, we tap into His infinite wisdom and can learn how to respond to any and all situations that we will face during our lifetime.
