Serving God is a choice
Raising children as servants to the Lord is not done on accident. I made a choice to be intentional in teaching my children about the lord. When doing the Lord's work I needed to make sure first things stayed first.

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
G. Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain

Lately I've heard this a lot, however it doesn't have to be so. We need to remember the traditions of a wiser generation.

In doing the work of the Lord do not forget about the Lord of the work!
There is no testimony without the test. Praise God find joy and worship God. Show compassion the orphans and widows.
Remember we are fighting a war in the Spirit, and sharing Christ's redemption. Edifying one another through this warfare.
-Remember how our worship will “be the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: “ 1 Cor. 12:7
-Remember how he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life, therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good or you could say show compassion to all, Gal. 6:8-10
-Remember how we are instructed to be zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. 1 Cor.14:12
-Remember how 19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you Matt. 28:19-20
Saturating ourselves in the Spirit will produce fruit of the Spirit
