A Burden Or A Reward?

A BURDEN OR A REWARD?

For You From The Word

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

(Psalm 127:3, NLT)

For You To Think About 

“Studies show a clear link between our society’s wealth and materialism … and its increasing aversion to kids,” says Dr. James Dobson, Founder and Chairman of Focus on the Family, referring to the cultural attitude that children are a nuisance, a burden, and a drain on resources.

God, however, places an extraordinarily high value on children … and the people He chooses to parent them. The psalmist tells us that children are not only a gift from God, but “they are a reward from him.”

Bringing a life into the world and nurturing it, in God’s eyes, is a privilege and honor.

For You To Pray

Loving Father, children are a gift and reward from You.  Help me to view parenting as an honor.  Amen.
