This is a message I gave on Father's Day to fathers, but it's relevant to everyone.
There are times when we sense an urgency to speak into our children's life no matter what their age...or anyone's life. The concern feels like a potential wildfire that could grow out of control, causing great damage.
When a wildfire is spotted, firefighters will do reconnaissance - they will get eyes-on to gather information about the fire and the surrounding environment to guide the response and ensure the safety of firefighters.
- Identifying the fire's origin and extent
- Assessing potential hazards
- Locating victims and determining rescue needs
- Informing a tactical plan
This is what we must first do to bring kindness and truth, wisdom and understanding to someone's heart.
My text was Proverbs 3:3-7, which is probably very familiar to you. I hope that perhaps you will think about it differently as I now do.
