A Secure Fortress

The wise woman builds her house,

    but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down
Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress,
    and for their children it will be a refuge
Proverbs 14:1&26

Working on my devotion this morning and opened my bible to Proverbs 14, and started reading. As I was reading I discovered Verse 1, I right away highlighted it. And start reading again, I stopped again at Verse 26. I completed the Chapter and started to go back over everything I highlighted, and underlined. I started noticing that I saw I focus on how to build your home, and lead your children. 
I quickly realized God was speaking to me, it had been awhile since I've gotten into a daily devotion. Over the summer I was trying to sleep in, do fun things, and I ignored my personal relationship with God. And it quickly showed, my personal life and motherhood. I started feeling depressed and not wanting to be around people or anything. And I dove right into daily devotions and filling my life with POSITIVE things. Enjoying my job as a House Wife and Stay at Home Mom. We also started home school so that means waking up before the kids and getting that quiet time with Jesus.

How do we create a Secure Fortress for our children

Simple, living our lives as an example. Daily Devotions, praying out loud and in private, living out the bible. And teaching them these things every day.
