even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Reading the comics. Donuts for breakfast. Yard work. Who says you can’t go home again! Visiting as an adult, it is easy to slip back into some childhood routines while also helping out and doing physical labor to help out family members.
If we reflect on our Christian walk, what are some childhood routines you remember? Sunday school class and crafts, VBS week in the summer, going to church with family or part of a bus ministry, nightly prayers with a parent. What if you slipped back into some of these childhood routines but also added some new adult ones, as well. Daily Devotional time. Reading your bible. Reach out to your pastor and ask about ministry opportunities. The Bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)
Maybe you have wandered away but you feel as though God is calling you back. Take the first step of faith back into the fold. As an adult, it may not be exactly as you remember but you’ll be glad you did. And… you will be welcomed with open arms.
