After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.”  He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”   Genesis 22:1-2

Psalm 16:8-9  I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.  Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.

Psalm 115:14   May the Lord give you increase, you and your children!

What needs to increase for you? Is it financial security? It is faith? Perhaps it is self esteem or confidence. It probably isn’t your hips or waistline.

We will not hide them from their children,
but tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done.   Psalm 78:4

When was the last time you witnessed to your child? It doesn’t matter if they are two or forty-two, they still need to hear how wonderful this God you worhisp is; how He sustains you and protects you and blesses your life.   Most of all how He loves you and forgives you.

For he delivers the needy when he calls,
the poor and him who has no helper.
 He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the lives of the needy.
 From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
and precious is their blood in his sight.     Psalm 72:12-14

Sounds like God, right?  He delivers the needy when they call upon him,and redeems their lives from violence and oppression. Their very existence (blood) is precious in his sight. 

When David’s time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying, “I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man,  and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn….  1 Kings 2:1

“For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.”   Psalm 71:5-6

That is the funny thing about pre-teens and  teens.  They seem so confident and cocky. They act as if they are invincable, and yet they are so vulnerable to peer presuures. Truly a age of dichotomy.
