What’s it worth? How Valued and Valuable are they?

As we begin today, let’s reflect on our priorities and if we are living in alignment with them. What’s your family worth to you? As the work week is drawing to a close, let’s consider how we are finishing and if it is strong and pleasing to God. The things you have been working on, are they valued and valuable? Are they valued and valuable to you? Might they be valued and valuable to God? What’s it worth to others?

What’s it worth to your family?

Is the work you have been pouring yourself into this week valued and valuable to your wife? How about your kids, what’s it worth to them? Is the work you are doing aligned with your top priorities and God’s calling on your life? How much time did you spend with and on your wife? Did your kids happen to get both quality and quantity time with you? What about God, have you been spending time with Him, praying without ceasing? Remember how everything else can’t get ranked any higher than 4 with God first, your wife and marriage second, and your kids and family third.

Today’s Verse of the Day:

What’s it worth to you?

Therefore, let’s be the dads who find joy in finishing the course and the ministry we have received from God. Moreover, let’s be the dads who are testifying everywhere we go the good news of God’s precious and underserved grace which makes us free from the guilt of sin and grants us eternal life through Jesus.
