What an awful life for those who have not
fixed their goal on knowing Jesus Christ the Lord!
fixed their goal on knowing Jesus Christ the Lord!
Meandering: To move aimlessly and idly without fixed direction: vagabonds meandering through life.
Have you ever tried to walk in a straight line across a field? The only way to walk straight across would be to fix your eyes on a post or object and not look away. To look away from the object would cause you to meander from the goal. Had you no fixed point you would meander across, there is not any way you could go straight.
A compass has a fixed point, North. If it had no fixed point it would be useless to the lost person in the woods or wilderness, or for whom one would locate the way they intend to go.
God has given us a fixed point in life so we can live without meandering and confusion. He has given HIMSELF as a fixed point to set our eyes on.
Here are some examples in Scripture to shew you what I mean:
And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. (Matthew 22:37)
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.(Colossians 3:1-4)
I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 3:14)
Dearest Mothers,
Teach you children to fix their thought and mind on Jesus Christ the Lord. Teach them to love Him and worship Him with all their heart.
Teach your children their need to be saved from their sin. Teach of their deceitful and wicked hearts: (The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9) Teach them that it is only through Jesus Christ they may be saved.
Here are your options In LIFE: The World or Jesus Christ the Lord. . . There is NO Middle ground!
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(1 John 2:15-17)
What will you teach your children? What will they become because of your teaching? Meanders, double minded, or people of faith in Jesus Christ with strength, who understand and fix their minds and eyes on the Most High God our Lord Jesus Christ?
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises. (Psalms 57:7)
Pray for wisdom from God to teach you how to raise your children for Him. Keep in His Word, submit to Him, obey Him... He will surely help you.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.(James 1:5-8)
Fix your mind on the eternal things! Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. (Colossians 3:2)
I pray for you dear Mothers.
In His love,
Sarah
