Let’s draw out for others the ways and means by which God is at work in the stories we choose to tell.
If we, as parents, prepare a biblical rebuttal to each lie our kids are led to believe about money, we can lay the foundation for a faith that resists Satan’s lies and trusts God to know and provide exactly what we need.
The solution to the hungering for more can only be found in the one who was perfect for us. Everything else is fleeting, a golden calf that instead of giving us what we think it can, ends up controlling us.
Psalm 8 paints a stirring picture of the God who is worthy of our worship …Overflow of the heart manifests in words of adulation and praise to our great God. This is worship.
Believing there is a formula to ensure that our children will follow a path that we deem “good” is to think of ourselves, even unintentionally, as gods.

The good news is that our wandering doesn’t sever us from Christ.
