Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me

 Good morning. Today's inspiration talks about one's children. In Psalms: how blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments. You want to be blessed – fear the Lord and delight in His word. Not only will you be blessed but: his descendants will be mighty on the earth: the generation of the upright will be blessed. So the blessing is not only for you; it's also for your children. That's a double blessing. Wealth and riches are in his house (believing is seeing). It's easier to handle bad things when they happen to us; it's a lot harder when it happens to our children. His righteousness endures forever. Light arises in the darkness for the upright. Even though things look dark now for you or your children, light will arise for you and for them. He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. And because of that: it is well with the man who is gracious and lends. God will maintain his cause in judgment. He will never be shaken. Sometimes that one is hard to fulfill for us. Sometimes we are so easily shaken with the events in our lives. He will not fear evil tidings; his heart is steadfast trusting in the Lord. Again that is hard to maintain when it concerns news about our children. Sometimes it's hard to not be afraid when the phone rings – afraid that it is bad news. His heart is upheld, he will not fear, until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. Sometimes these adversaries are not human adversaries. His horn will be exalted in honor! Father thank You that the reader fears You and greatly delights in Your word. He/she and his/her children are blessed. There are wealth and riches in her house. Light arises in the darkness for him/her and his/her children. He/she will never be shaken.
