Lots of Thoughts and Seeking

As I have been meditating on a few scriptures this week for a new study and book I am working through.   They really hit me where I am at as I work on my homeschooling with the boys presently and work on next years focus.

 Monday's verse was:
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who builds it;  Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchmen keeps awake in vain. Psalm 127:1


I realize just how much I have been trying to determine what I need to be teaching the boys based on books and recommendations.   Instead of going before God and asking what He wants me to focus on.  Sure I need to cover a certain amount of information but what to focus and emphasis is for the Lord to direct.   He knows my boys' hearts better than I do.    What do I think, that I know more than God?    Not that i do this intentionally (which on occasion, i am sure I do) but I just get so wrapped up in the hows and whats, I forget the most important part, these are God's boys he gave them to me but a short time and I need to ask Him what they need.

yesterday's & today's verses were:


John 15:4–5 (NASB95)
⁴ “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. ⁵ “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 




Matthew 6:33 (NASB95)
³³ “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 




Here and today's verse really showed me where I need to be Seeking and Abiding is the answer.   If I would seek the source of Life and the One who knows the beginning and the end would know what I need to focus on.    Not just for Homeschooling my precious boys but also for my life and where he wants to lead me too.
