Potty Training

Voice of Prayer
Yikes! Potty Training....what has that got to do with godly things?
In scripture, we were told that God created the heavens and the earth. We are also told that He created them Adam and Eve, male and female.

Proverbs 3:3-4  ..Let not mercy and truth forsake …you;…Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of …….your heart,
4 And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.


God thought it important enough to remind us from these verses to not letting mercy and truth forsake us. We are to bind them around our neck, see that they are written on the tablet of our heart and in doing so, we would find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man!

Yet these very important words have been abandoned either by neglect or by choosing a "new pathway" that is against (out of alignment) from God established for us in His word of truth.

In training a child, you start early (like when they are mastering their walk) and introduce them to the potty chair. For some, this is a continual work in progress. For others though it flows quickly and smoothly. In regards to children we have had or seen within our families, our own seemed to take to the potty chair quickly. Always regarding her care as the utmost in bringing her up, we always mentioned the words: modesty, discreet, remembering modesty was the best policy and quality for a young girl or woman to maintain.
In regards of morals, we continued to seek encouraging her of the importance of being respectful to her body and to keep an appropriate behavior in the use of the "potty".
Now some may think this is absurd or something other than useful, but if our mouth is the "potty" mouth, then we are not useful except to someone else who has that "potty" mouth!

In training someone up to be virtuous, we remind them that God planned for them. He spoke of their coming and with our own, the Lord had me speak specific things to her on the day she was born. If GOD thought that important, then we viewed her knowing who she was and what she was to do for Him would come from Him.
Not sure where people got off on their thinking that what you were born with according to being male or female played no role in who you would be later in life. I am not certain how people who were educated could get into a whole world of hurt by thinking of you change your hormones, have some medical procedures or two that you will be "normal". WRONG!

In the rules of conduct: we are to conduct our lives with the respect that God planned us and He knows who we are and what the plan is for each of us. Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psalm 139:13 For YOU formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

Yes, can you imagine it right now, what some have had sex changes will be telling God has they stand before Him, and telling Him "you made a mistake"! Yikes!
For the God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth does not make mistakes and scripture tells us that He knew us in the depths being formed and He has a book that is written about my life, your life, your children's lives and your grand-children's lives!
In what God fashioned for each of us is written. What He planned, He noted it to show us. Yet there will be many tears, many denials and certain heartache beyond what anyone could stand when confronting truth in the FACE of God's TRUTH!
In the closing verses of Psalm 139, the author wrote Search me O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxieties;  24 and if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.


Lord God, see if there is any wicked way in my heart...search me O God.

Anything of the false that is contrary to God and His truth is spoken in this short prayer. The author needed to offer that which he knew could keep his heart from hate and from the practices that men tend to do by their human nature. The author wanted to be led in that way that is holy toward God…that is in spirit and truth. For in truth, we are to walk following the way the Lord is directing and not by human standards, human reasoning and human wrongs. For we know that the way that is right in a man’s own eyes is seldom the way to God but for their own satisfaction and desires.

News alert: what you were born with is who you are, whom God created with a plan in mind! Don't shipwreck your life for a moment in the flesh.
 Basing our decisions on our senses is folly. So when we see something, feel something, hear something, based without true knowledge is detrimental to you and me. When confronted with fear, confusion takes over to cover us in darkness and hide us from the very knowledge we need and that is God’s word. As fear is cloaked in darkness of confusion, then pressure will take over to be the driver to move one to act out of fear. This pressure looks much like selfishness and strife! It is a wanting to protect oneself from the thing fear has created. Words spoken from the natural man using these five senses can cause a lot of unneeded problems birthed through the false evidence.
We must have true knowledge to make right decisions. That knowledge of the heart is that we gain from the Lord and His Word. Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge. But he who hates corrections is stupid. (NKJV)
Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.(NKJV)
Proverbs 18:15…………15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.  NKJV

His Counsel. His eye is of favor on those who regard His counsel. It is the knowledge of who He is and all that comes with friendship of that with a great King. (Proverbs 22:11)……
Proverbs 22:12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthrows the words of the transgressor.

To maintain the walk God planned for each of us, is to stay within the boundary of His word of truth. To do anything else would be sin and far from God!

Psalm 1: Blessed is the man who walks not in counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scornful; 2 but his delight in is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in season, whose leaf  shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. 

If one is due for potty training, may they know God has a plan for their good and not evil to give them a hope in their final outcome. May we be found in faith knowing God is for us and not against us! Amen.
