Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
(Psalm 127:3, NLT)
“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 par ent 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.
Loving Father, children are a gift and reward from You. Help me to view parenting as an honor. Amen.
