This past June my wife and I had our third child, Jaxsen. His older brother and sister just love him. He has been such a blessing to our family! Sitting back this evening I am reminded what Solomon said, “Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.” Psalm 127:3 (NIV).
Children are a reward from God. All of our children are to be treasured, loved and appreciated. They are more than just little people; they are a gift from God trusted into our care. God must think a lot of Kimmy and I to entrust us with such precious gifts. But what are we to do with these gifts?
Solomon goes on to say that “Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!” Psalm 127:4-5a. As an arrow must be carefully aimed, a child must also be carefully trained. It takes a long time to aim an arrow, but once it is on target, it can be released and will fly in a straight path.
I encourage you to fire your children at the heart of God. Teach them to know and love Jesus and to love and serve others. Your influence will have a greater impact on them than any other.
What happens at home is more important than what happens at church.
