Leading Others

    The Bible says that the one thing worse than sinning is to lead others to sin. As a parent, we hope that we do everything right. We do not want our children to fail in any way, but we certainly don't want their failures to be our fault. Psalms 69 says,

"5 God, you know every sin I've committed;
   My life's a wide-open book before you.

 6 Don't let those who look to you in hope
   Be discouraged by what happens to me,
   Dear Lord! God of the armies!

   Don't let those out looking for you
   Come to a dead end by following me—
   Please, dear God of Israel! "

    This has become my prayer for today. I hope that my influence on my son is only positive. I pray that I teach him love of God, the need to pray, and how to worship.
