One
of the greatest blessings in this life is to bear children and to have the opportunity to raise them up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord. Children (and grandchildren) are sometimes a challenge and sometimes will break
your heart; however, the blessings far outweigh the burdens.
In Deuteronomy 6
God challenged Israel to teach their children the Word of God. They were to pass down from generation to
generation the training found in scripture. We are told in the Proverbs to train up a child in the way
he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
The Apostle Paul
commended young Timothy on his faith, stating that it was the result of the training that had come from his grandmother and
mother.
A child raised according to the Bible will bring many
blessings and that is great reward!
