Let’s Talk About It
God’s current is always moving—unstoppable and full of grace. When we yield to Him, we can influence our present and future generations. David, though a great king, struggled as a father by failing to correct, restore, and confront. Still, God’s current brings hope. To parents: Commit your way to the Lord—He’s still working. To sons and daughters: Return to Him—His grace is waiting.
Philippians 1:6; Romans 5:18-20; Proverbs 3:12, 13:24; Psalm 34:4-5; 2 Samuel 13-15
