DETOURS God did not lead the Israelites on a direct path from Egypt to the Promised Land. Instead, He opted for a route that avoided obstacles and challenged them to evaluate their hearts. In the course of our parenting journey, God sometimes takes us on detours that seem counterproductive. While we often have a wonderful story written for the lives of our children, it is usually one that does not include pain and hardship. Inevitably Gods story takes us to places we wouldnt choose to go on our own, but they are the very routes that develop maturity, integrity, and perseverance. When you are in the midst of one of these detours, challenge yourself to adopt Gods eternal perspective. He is making your kids more like His.
