Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you could join us.
We return from our Sabbatical and close our fourteenth round of weeks. We here start with our fifteenth round of weeks. Thanks for being here, to begin with, us.
We are still on our meditations in The Book of Daniel. We closed round 14th with Daniel 6:23. We start here with Daniel 6:24. It reads,
"And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions—them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den."
This is the reality of life. No obedience or disobedience is personal. It affects those closest to us. When we are obedient, they are recipients of blessings. When we are disobedient and or wicked, they are equal recipients of the judgment that befalls us.
There is the good side when it is a reward, they are ENTITLED to the breeze that comes with the prize. There is no wisdom in withholding from them. Just as much as the bad air will not miss them in judgment, the breeze of goodwill should not also.
When we rise the status of our immediate family cannot and should not remain the same. If for no other reason, let it be because they will not be excused for the reverse. When all is said and done, your immediate family is all you have.
Enrich them when you are opportune to. Everyone else will find their square root. Woe betides thee if your immediate family has not been empowered to carry you. May God grant each of us wisdom.
Let us pray.
The Saint.
