Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, and said, “O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.” (Judges 13:8, NKJV)
A young family in the church was blessed last night with their first child – what a joyful event! The love and innocence of a newborn child reminds us of the wondrous love of God and His ever-present care for us. What an awesome task parents have to guide an immortal soul in the way of the Lord. If you are a parent, there is no greater counselor than the Lord to show you what to do for your child. Seek His help as parents through prayer and through the instruction of His word. With the Lord’s help, one day you can join John the apostle in saying, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth” (3 John 4).
