Who's Walking Who?

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13

Josiah held on with all the might his 2 year old frame could muster. He was certainly making a valiant effort at walking our 10 pound pooch named Potato. Yet to the trained eye (or most any eye for that matter) it was plain to see that the dog was walking, or better yet running, him. Potato led on and Josiah held fast while he tripped and stumbled along behind her each step of the way. 

With that picture in mind you may just want to ask yourself a question or two. What is it that you have connected yourself with as of late? And just who or what is leading and guiding you down the road of life?

If the Holy Spirit is not given full reign in our lives we will find that we are being run by things such as ungodly goals, faulty mindsets, emotions or even the need for man’s approval. Today may be a good day to reevaluate your agenda. Overall, we might ask ourselves, am I being led by the Holy Spirit or run by something else?

"The wise in heart are called prudent, understanding, and knowing, and winsome speech increases learning [in both speaker and listener].” Proverbs 16:21 

My name is Lori, I am a daughter of the King, a Pastors wife, and the mother of three beautiful children. This monthly devotional looks to bring godly insight and humor to the everyday moments we experience as parents. It highlights the countless ways God speaks, and ministers to us through the joys and trials of parenthood.  I invite you to become a part of the everyday antics of our family’s life. As you join us you’re sure to find yourselves in the midst of many of the familiar delights, and countless mini catastrophes that come along with child rearing. Each devotional you read will be set along-side Scripture to aid in self- reflection and spiritual growth. And as you read along with us each month, you may begin to discover that our children’s outward actions often reflect many of our inward thoughts.  This unique perspective enables us to take an honest look at ourselves, and it even puts us in a position to be pickled through the process of parenthood. So come and join us as God reveals the little child in each of us, and our ever present need for His love and wisdom.
