Are You a Parent

In Jeremiah 1:5, God declares that he is the one who forms life in the womb. Many of us take this for granted and abuse the lives that grow in us. As a parent you are just a vessel God is using to accomplish the task of procreation. He could have used anyone else but he chose you. For this fact alone just know that he has highly favored you. He also knows that you can live up to the task. This is the highest level of trust God can give a human being, entrusting you with another person's life.

Are you living up to the calling? Most of us think that we are the law makers when it comes to our children. We have the last say when it concerns their lives. This is very wrong as we are just vessels God chose to use in order to bring these children into being. They do not belong to us but to God. We are just trustees. This means that we are not supposed to do anything in their lives without consulting the true parent, God. Whether its a school, discipline or everyday lives, just ask God on how to handle it.

When we involve God in the parenting exercise, things just flow. When your relationship with God involves your baby, as he grows older, so will he love to walk with him. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
