There is a God in Heaven

My boys and their boys




"There is a God in heaven..." (Dan. 2:28)

Little Glasscos are popping out faster than you can say "Wilbur Willowkins wore a winter weskit."

(You'll have to read Mr. Greenleaf's Unforgettable Summer to understand that alliteration.)

"How can a young man keep his way pure in this morally-decaying, malignant, evil-minded, wicked world?" asks their memaw. 

"By obeying My Word," says God in Psalm 119:9.

About 2,500 years ago, the city of Jerusalem was besieged and young Daniel was carted off to Babylon (modern day Iraq). He determined in his heart and mind not to defile himself; and when his very life was threatened, he prayed,

"Praise the name of God forever and ever, 

for He has all wisdom and power.

He controls the course of world events;

He removes kings and sets up other kings." 
(Dan. 2:20-21)

In the face of mighty King Nebuchanezzar, Daniel declared, "There is a God in heaven."

Oh Father God, in this increasingly dark world, I pray that our children and grandchildren will hide Your word in their hearts that they will not sin against You! I pray they will build their lives on the rock in obedience to Your commands so when storms come they will stand and not fall. May they overcome the evil one by the blood of the Lamb Jesus, the word of their testimonies, and their love for You more than love of their own lives. May they complete the work You give them to do in the land of the living and bring You great glory! In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen and Amen.
