Are you pointed in the right direction?

Have you played the “Why” game with a child?

Why do I have to go to bed?

Why do I have to eat dinner before I can have dessert?

Why do I have to wear pants?

“Because Mommy said so” isn’t always the best answer. (Especially to the dessert question.)

I can’t stress enough how important it is to take the time and answer the questions in your worksheets. (I even gave you serious eyes during Facebook Live.)

(*Make sure you grab your worksheets to be entered into the giveaway NEXT WEEK!)

Knowing WHY helps us establish a secure foundation.

If I lose my sense of direction by focusing too closely on the steps instead of my ultimate goal, what’s the point?

Matthew 7:24-25

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

There will be days that don’t go as planned.

Rain will fall and wind will blow.

Turn your face towards His amazing grace.

Edward Mote wrote “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less” in 1834.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

The bloom is the result of all the work the bulb has gone through.

When the tulip’s ready, you’ll see the leaves push through the soil, unfurl themselves, and the scape (stem of the flower) will begin to grow straight up towards the sun.

Are you looking in the right direction?

Tulips respond to sunlight.

Their petals open and close depending on the amount of light shining on them and they follow the path of the sun throughout the day.

Be the Tulip!

Keep your face towards the Son and follow the path He has for you.

Why?

Matthew 5:16-17

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
