Here is today’s Bible reading:  Ruth 2:1-4:22; John 4:43-54; Psalm 105:16-36; Proverbs 14:26-27.

Proverbs 14:26 (NIV)
He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress,
and for his children it will be a refuge.

My walk with God impacts more than just me–it is a source of blessing for my wife and children as well.  One of the best things I can do for my family is to run hard after God.

John 4:50 (NIV)
Jesus replied, “You may go. Your son will live.”
The man took Jesus at his word and departed.

Why is it so hard for me to take Jesus at his word?  I greatly respect the faith of this man and desire to emulate it.
