Children Are a Blessing

"Children are a heritage from the Lord; offspring are a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, children born in one’s youth are blessed for the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court." Psalm 127:3-5 (NIV)
The Bible reminds us that children are a blessing from God. Therefore, it is important for fathers and mothers alike that we acknowledge who we are in Christ Jesus and follow his example when caring for our children. The foundation for good parenting starts with us recognising that God the Father is the father of all. We must follow the footprint he left for us to walk in. Therefore, grow your children in the fear of God so that when they get older, they will remember who they are and who is the head of their lives. Parenting can be hard at times, but it's not enough for us to remember that we are a gift from God, and so are our children.
Prayer: God, you sovereignly over all, please direct my life as I yield myself to you, and that your unconditional love continues to guide my path so that I may be a good father to my children and others. Lord, I recognise that you are Master of all things, and I pray that you continue to abide in me so that I may do what is right for my family.
I pray that the Holy Spirit continues to be my friend, my teacher, and my guide to open doors that have been closed. Fill me with your blessing; make me an effective servant and leader in Jesus’ name.
