CONSIDER...HERE A LITTLE-THERE A LITTLE

A new school year is here!  Last year’s clothes don’t fit the kids anymore so new clothes must be purchased.  Old shoes are replaced with new ones along with last year’s backpack while old cell phone and iPads are updated.  One thing that remains is what our children have learned in prior years.  The rules of grammar, mathematics, science, etc.will definitely regulate their thoughts as well as their behavior. Here a little and there a little they learn each year - a building block for the one to come.

Coaches follow this same pattern.  Preparing teams for a new sport season requires using the behaviors of returning players as a base for developing new team members.   Here a little and there a little the rules (aka precepts) already instilled become building blocks for  another strong team.

The Psalmist David offered this prayer of commitment regarding following the rules God set before him...

I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.   Psalm 119:15 NIV

 Our faith in God is built one block at a time as we consider His ways and understand His precepts...

For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.         Isaiah 28:20 NRSV

Just as each new school year builds upon the last, each new day brings the possibility for a deeper understanding and knowledge of our Creator.  Precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little we come to understand His plan and purpose for our lives.

PRAYER:  Thank you for the precepts you have laid out in your Word.  I choose to build on them daily so I can more fully know and honor you.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

                          GROW IN GOD'S WAYS...
               HERE A LITTLE AND THERE A LITTLE!
