Super stars are not measured by how famous they get in this world, but rather the mark they left on it.

1. Life is a trust
God gives us the provisions to the promises laid out in His word. 
As Children of God we have access to the resources, the power and the authority of our Father. 

2. Life is a test
He is looking to see how we use the resources we have been given. 
(Faithful in a little, responsible for much.)

3. Life is a temporary assignment.
This life is temporary while the one that matters is the one we will live in eternity. 

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone. John 4:14

We need to shift our attention on the things that matter, our mark will be measured by:

1. How we served God on our temporary assignment.
2. How we served others 
3. The message we left with the next generation.

Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever. Daniel 12:3

Fathers, it is our purpose to teach our children the word, to tell them of the wondrous God we serve. To tell them of the victories, how we overcome, because God never changes this word is relevant for you today. 

If you want the best for your children: 

1. Show them the Word in Action.
2. Wash them in the Word of God.
2. Teach them to walk in the Word of God.

Let's raise a transformed generation.


For he issued his laws to Jacob;
he gave his instructions to Israel.
He commanded our ancestors
to teach them to their children, Psalm 78:5

David recognized that the very same God who formed the universe, who created him hears his voice. He recognized that even if no one else in the universe cared about his situation, the one who created the universe does. 

God cares about the details of your life, He hears your voice, never stop communicating with Him, never stop seeking Him. 

3 Truths:
1. God Hears Your Voice
2. God Listens to what you have to say.
3. This should be reason enough to keep talking to God

I love the lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!
Psalm 116:1-2

It wasn't that long ago when I was considered a young person. I also remember how smart I thought I was, but now as a wiser and older person I discovered that good advice is better than gold. 

The writer here in Psalm 119 says that there is a way a young person can stay pure, to benefit fully in this life. Its by getting plugged into your word and then doing what it says. 

Good News for you young people!

His word will:

1. Provide the strength you need in tough times
2. Provide the knowledge you need for everyday living.
3. Provide direction for your future.

How can a young person stay pure?
By obeying your word. Psalm 119:9

I think all too often, people think of the Bible is a book of rules.

But in fact it is a manual for living.

We have to ask ourselves what make of any manual sends it's creator to every user of its instructions personally out to help that person understand and keep the rules. I only know one: God

Today if you could remember three things:

1. God has more than just rules for your life, He has the recipe for abundant
living.
2. His plans will never fail and they always result in blessings

3. He will help you understand and keep His purpose for your life.

Today is the day to give over your life to His care and control. Give Jesus the steering wheel and you will get to your destination.

Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.
~Psalm 119:27
