[S] Ezekiel 14:20 --
20 even though Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their son or their daughter. They would deliver only themselves by their righteousness."
[O] Even these three spiritual giants were unable to deliver anyone else but themselves through their own righteousness. Our faith is all about me and God -- one on one. There is no group charter salvation.
[A] As much as I want to leave an inheritance for my children's salvation through my lifetime's actions, I cannot do that. This means that I must do my best -- through prayers and admonition -- to implant the foundational value system of faith toward God in my children's hearts such that from such a seed their faith would sprout up and grow into their own fortress of faith anchored in God's grace and hope.
[P] Dear Father, I lift up my children to You now so that their lives will be drenched with Your grace and love and leadership even at their young ages now so that when they do go through some of the life's turbulent phases they would be anchored into the amazing grace of Your faithfulness. Please guide them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
