Determinism makes parents conclude that good shaping influences will automatically produce good children. This often bears bitter fruit later in life. Parents who have an unruly and troublesome teenager or young adult conclude that the problem is the shaping influences they provided. They think if they had made a little better home, things would have turned out OK. They forget that the child is never determined solely by shaping influences of life. Remember that Proverbs 4:23 instructs you that the heart is the fountain from which life flows. Your child’s heart determines how he responds to your parenting.

Dear Friends,

Usually I will not send corrections to the errors I make in writing the devotional but will post the corrected version on the Burning Bush Website.  At least once a week if not more often I do make errors of some kind.  I am sending out the correction today so it would be clear that I was not the author of the devotional.  Most subscribers who have been subscribing for a few months or more would have recognized this but wanted to clear up any confusion with the following for today's devotional, "You've Got Your Orders."

Today’s devotional was written by my son, Clark Wrather, who is the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Clark may be contacted at fbcbb@pine-net.com.  The Scripture and title have been added.

Thank you for your understanding and faithfulness!

Praying for you,

Ed Wrather
