Wife and Children

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

Psalm 128:4

Reading:

Psalm 127 & Psalm 128

Am I consciously a laborer together with God?

Am I working with or against God in my family?

“It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleeep” (Psalm 127:2).

Am I sleep-deprived?

What am I doing with my “arrows”?

How has God blessed me of late?

What are some long-term blessings I’ve overlooked or forgotten?

What divine purposes do I discern for my family?

And for my placement in my various families?

[The Scriptures say in Psalm 128:2 -- Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee]
from Psalm 128:2

Now. Then.

And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

John 16:22

Reading:

John 16:16-24; 20:11-16

Will I admit when I don’t understand what Jesus says in His Word?

Am I willing to endure suffering in order to enjoy joy?

What will I ask of the Father in Jesus’ name?

What does my joy meter read…and why?

At what do I grieve?

Would I know Jesus if I saw Him?

“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24).
