I place my confidence and hope in You. Thank You for Your unfailing faithfulness to me. Amen. I'm and I want to have A Word With You today about "Man's Forest and Woman's Trees. Now, our word for today from the Word of God goes back to the very creation of man and woman, Genesis 2:15. Notice what man's assignment was.
"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." Adam, run the garden! That's no small job; he's got a big challenge. God has set him up to deal with the big picture. Now notice the creation of woman only a few verses later. It says, "The man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the air, the beasts of the field." Okay, he's busy running the big operation. "But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, He took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman..." I personally am very glad He did. And it says, "He made her from the rib He had taken out of the man, and He brought her to the man." Notice, He's created Eve now; not to run the garden, but with a focused concern. In this case, her concern is to be Adam's. He would care about the big picture; she would care about the details. He would see the forest (or the garden); she would see the trees. And, you know, it's still that way today and we really need each other's perspective! See, if a man doesn't have a woman's perspective, he tends to trample over people without even knowing it while pursuing his conquest, his big deal. And the man without a woman, he misses the journey because all he can see is the destination. He doesn't see the problems until they are crisis; maybe too late to deal with. A woman tends to see them sooner and soon enough to solve them. But see, if a woman doesn't have a man's perspective, she could be overwhelmed with worry over the details. She could tend to overreact to a bad situation because she's so close to it. To panic, maybe even make short-sighted decisions. But, man, it's dynamite when you put the two perspectives together. A man has this objective distance, and he's able to say, "Honey, come over here and let's look at the whole forest and we'll probably make a better decision and better choices." Created by God for that big picture, and there's nothing wrong with that. But then you put that with a woman's sensitive closeness, where she says, "Honey, come over here. Did you notice that there are trees dying and falling down in the forest? You've got to come and look at the smaller picture with me, because if more of these trees die there isn't going to be a forest anymore." See, put us together; we've got the whole story. Let's celebrate the fact that we're different. She needs to see his forest, and he needs to see her trees. We all know that God does not listen to sinners, but he listens to anyone who worships and obeys him. John 9:31
Most of our prayer lives could use a tune-up. Some prayer lives lack consistency. They're either a desert or an oasis. Long, arid, dry spells interrupted by brief plunges into the waters of communion… Others of us need sincerity. Our prayers are a bit hollow, memorized, and rigid. More liturgy than life. And though they are daily, they are dull. Still others lack, well, honesty. We honestly wonder if prayer makes a difference. Why on earth would God in heaven want to talk to me? If God knows all, who am I to tell him anything? If God controls all, who am I to do anything? … Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference. He Still Moves Stones (Max Lucado) Practical guidelines
1. Regularly bless your children. Use the prayer in 1 Chron.4:9-10 or Num.6:23-27. you can pray it as a prayer for them or you can use it as a blessing when you do bible study. 2. Pray God’s purpose for them. Pray that they will understand God’s purpose for them and why HE created them. 3. Pray for your children according to Gods promises, not according to your expectations for their lives. God has committed Himself to honoring His promises. 4. Do not complain and grumble when you pray for your children. Such prayers are born from unbelief and lack of faith. Pray and trust God. 5. Do not allow any feelings of bitterness or unforgifeness toward your child. Ask God for His love in your heart: unconditionallove, love regardless of what happened in the past, love in spite of how your child behaves. 6. Discuss your children with God……. Before seeking advice from other people. Parents often discuss the behavior and problems of their own children, ask for help, complain about their children and seek professional help, but do not pray for them. 7. Do not accuse your children before God. Your role is to come before God as a priest to plead for grace and mercy. The devil is the accuser. If you accuse your children before God and tell Him of all the wrong things they do, you are doing exactly what the devil does. 8. Do not try to do the work of the Holy Spirit. You can not change your child’s heart. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. 9. Do not be hasty with your child. Do not expect your child to change overnight. Most things in your child develop over a long process of change {Do you remember that it was the same when you were a child?}. As parents our responsibility to God is to produce godly children [Mal.2:15] 10. Simple prayers are good enough. Sometimes a single sentence prayed several times during the day is enough. Do not complicate your prayers. Scripture on praying for your children Psalm 37:25-26 Psalm 103:17 Psalm 112:1-3 Psalm 128:1, 3 Proverbs 3:3 Proverbs 14:26 Proverbs 20:7 Isaiah 44:3 Isaiah 54:13 Matthew 18:14 Acts 2:39 Acts 16:31 Colossians 3:20 |
