Mama's Song: Joy in the Morning Light

Who's Responsible for our Children?

Sometimes the responsibility of motherhood comes heavy upon me. I wonder how I can raise Godly children in today's world. All around us the devil has set up traps to catch the attention of our children and draw them away from God. It seems that the temptations focus on young people are stronger then before.

Thinking of this, Jesus brought a promise to me during my quiet time with Him this morning. Isaiah 29: 22-24. It is a wonderful promise.

"No longer will Jacob [mothers?] be ashamed; no longer will their faces grow pale. When they see among them their children, the work of My hands, they will keep My name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction."

Our children are the work of God's hands. God is more responsible for the outcome of my children then I am. I am only a tool in God's hands. God says that the wayward will gain understanding, and the complainers will stop complaining and accept instruction. He is so good. I rest in Him today.
