Growing In Wisdom, Stature and Favor

The best environment for sons and daughters to develop the character needed to overcome the difficult challenges of life, is within their own home. These soveriegn "Life Lessons" are the preparation for the prerequisites for success. If these opportunities are embraced, they will be the chisseling tools needed to produce young leaders and hero's of tomorrow. Biblical examples such as David, Joseph, Esther and Ruth all came about from young people trusting God to work through the incredible hardships they were placed. They received excellent training at home. They did not run away from their family obligations or their limited situations. They were equipt at home to then face their destiny which paved the way for young men and women to follow. These overcomers are the brightest stars, the ones to admire and emulate.

A young person will become all they were meant to be, if they learn to trust God at home. They will discover themselves while developing into mature adults. If they trust the Lord in their day to day challenges, they will be blessed with wisdom, understanding and maturity in all aspects of life and learn how to develop successful relationships. As they embrace the Providence of God, they will see Him working through their imperfect families~ the exact ones He chose for them. Very few young adults understand that these difficult "life lessons" have to be learned no matter what! They can learn it the best way at home or the do it the "hard way".

Those who face the challenges at home by staying the course will become the knights and maidens who win the big battles of life. They are not faint hearted but shining examples of strength of character and determination.

May you rise up to resist the temptation of "Jonah" who ran away from where he was placed. May you avoid the consequences of a "self serving" mindset which is actually "self destructive" sabotaging your own future. May you experience a life which brings joy to your family as you continue to subject yourself to them, bringing comfort to your parents in their elder years and receive a great vision for future generations.

"And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Luke 2:51-52
