What’s the best way for parents to provide a secure future for their children?
Educators tend to think a child’s best chance lies in receiving good basic schooling, followed by a college degree. Financial experts try to convince parents that investment accounts will eventually gain their children the greatest security. Doctors prefer to believe a child’s physical health is key to their future success.
All those objectives might be good, but God has a better way to provide for a child’s security.
Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge (Proverbs 14:26).
Worldly influences try to assure parents that their child’s physical welfare is the most important. But God’s first priority for children is spiritual well-being. Children whose parents’ faith is like a strong fortress will have a godly example to follow. If they choose faith in Jesus like their parents, their future will be secure and their lives richly blessed.
God, make me more like Your Son, so I can reflect You more clearly to my children.
