Problems. Life sometimes seems to deal us problem after problem. Where do problems come from? If we lived in a perfect world and if we (big if) were perfect too, there wouldn't be any problems. So where do problems come from?
Obviously they come from sin. That terrible 3 letter word we are all so good at. I've defined sin from time to time as a "disease of the attitude," and it really is. Jesus spoke about attitudes when at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 He gave us the eight attitudes or Beatitudes every Christian should have.
I challenge you to review and study this passage. Next time you run into a problem or see a problem developing with your children, look to the Beatitudes and discover which attitude is missing. Then choose to live that attitude yourself and train the attitude up in your children's lives. Watch the results. You'll see Christian character being manifested and true blessing coming to your life.
Jesus taught us these Christ-like attitudes that are vital to our lives. Let's learn them, keep them ever present, and live them out that our lives might be a testimony, that our children might be a witness, and that our family might honor our Creator in all that it does.
