Best Verse: Revelation 15:3b “’Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations!’”
BRAVE ONES
Do you know who is singing this in heaven? Take a look at verse 2. “Those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and the number of his name” are the ones singing. It doesn’t say how many are singing. It only says what it says. So just who are these singers?
Well, could it include us? Will we be victorious over the beast and his image and the number? Will we face these temptations to succumb to his lures? Will we have to make the decision to compromise or die?
TEACHING MOMENT
I know we all pray that our children would never have to face such decisions. But listen to me Moms and Dads! We might possibly be living in the last days. We don’t know when Christ is going to come, but we do know that the world is getting darker and darker. Christianity is under attack. Are you preparing your children to defend their faith? Are you getting your children ready to take a stand for Christ?
Teaching our children to be faithful is one of those things that they will learn by watching us. Every time you are faced with a faith decision let them know what is going on. Now, I mean within reason. Children should NOT be privy to our every adult decision. But letting them in on our faith growing and faith trusting decisions prepares them for the day when they will be faced with similar challenges.
The problem many parents today have is trying to make EVERY decision for their child in order to shield them for getting hurt. Pain is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s life’s way of letting us know that something is wrong. Allow your child to experience those “growing pains” in a safe way, but let them experience them. Just read James 1, if you need further proof.
