Reading: Philippians 4:8, 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
“Think about” actually means spend your time. Paul was encouraging us to spend our time doing these such things. A family man reflects on what really matters. We are not called to just skim through life. For example, if you are talking to your kids while sorting the mail or talking to your wife while looking for the remote or even praying on the run, we will be held accountable for our time.
“My dear children, let’s not just talk about love, let’s show our love by our actions and how we use our time. This then is how the world will know that we belong to the truth”, I John 3:18, 19.
We can have drive through restaurants, but not drive through families.
Are you a man who is there when his family needs him?
What are some ways that you typically skim through life?
What are some needs to which your family will need your undivided attention?
How will you take the time today to resist skimming through life and meet the needs of your family and those around you?
