#729: Day by Day

Ready for some stats?Statistics indicate that most people live at least 75 years. That life expectancy equals 900months or 27,394 days.But statistics are only an average. Some people live longer. Others shorter. Even though this is a sobering thought, Psalm 90:12 reminds us, “to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”When we understand that life is short and unpredictable, we shift our focus from thetemporary to the eternal. And in doing so, we recognize the God-given responsibility of training our sons to become godly men.Even though parenting is filled with challenges, be intentional in using your days wisely. As you commit yourself to this vital task, the Lord will provide you strength from day to day.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
