“Isn’t the wheat harvest today? I will call on the LORD, and he will send thunder and rain so that you will recognize what an immense evil you committed in the LORD’s sight by requesting a king for yourselves.” (1 Samuel 12:17)
There was a boy once, a very sinful child, who harkened not to the counsel of his parents; but his mother prayed for him, and now he stands to preach to this congregation every Sunday. And when his mother thinks of her firstborn preaching the gospel, she reaps a glorious harvest that makes her a glad woman.
Now, mothers, such may be your case. However bad your children are at present, still, press toward the throne of grace, and you shall have a harvest. What do you think, mother? Would you not rejoice to see your son a minister of the gospel; your daughter teaching and assisting in the cause of God? God will not suffer you to pray and leave your prayers unheard.
No Matter What Your Children Will Do, They Need the Bible
Today's devotional encouraged us to reflect on all the incredible things that God might do in and through our children. Your children might become pastors, missionaries, doctors, musicians, teachers, engineers, or anything else. Only God knows.
But no matter what your children will do in the future, they will need the Bible. The best way you can prepare your child for the future is teaching them the Bible.
