Like in Moses 1, God also taught Abraham in similar manner. First teaching him that he was a son of God and then proceeded to "show" Abraham the "works of His hands".
With God there is no hidden secrets or hypocrisy. So in confidence He can ask a son to watch him, what he does, how he acts, how he treats others.... the list goes on.
It is humbling to think back at all of the things I have done as a father that I'm not proud of. As I have been studying the past few weeks I have really felt a desire to become better, stronger, more in tune. I want to be a father that can confidently ask his children to "do as I do" rather then "do as I say, not as I do"
One of the things that has helped me the past several days is in my personal prayer. Too often I found myself distracted during prayer or just plain tired and falling asleep. For the past week I have been saying my prayers kneeling at the bed of Corrie. I found as I held her hand and prayed, I felt love for her, as well as an increased accountability and desire. My prayers have been more ernest and sincere.
thanks for all of your posts
