Personally, I feel probably the most disheartening reality that we face in our current society is the devaluation of the family unit. This is unfortunately where all these aspects come to a head as Satan weasels his way into the partitions of our homes and wreaks havoc. All the present demands and strains placed upon parents today are a ploy to eventually cause division and tear apart families with divorce, betrayal, and lies, leaving a wake of shattered memories.
It all starts as an internal war contained in the home as Satan confuses the roles of a husband and wife and gets contained in the minds of their children. We need to comprehend that we’re in a spiritual war! So, are you able to suit up since the evil minions aren’t going to go down easily? Ephesians 6:10-18 equips us with the reality on learn how to fight this battle by putting on our Godly armor. While Ephesians 5:21-33 lays out the gorgeous depiction of a faithful marriage. Let’s cling to those truths and fight for our families!
Raising children nowadays surely comes with a lofty set of challenges that could seem unbearable at times, but God still created you and your kids for such a time as this! They have a selected plan and purpose for living right here, right away. And so do you! So, let’s not strive to be the proper parent but fairly recognize that we’re all flawed humans, doing our highest to coach our youngsters to like and fear the Lord. The beautiful gift that comes from parenting is that your story will intertwine with theirs, but you should allow God to put in writing the pages. God will use your child’s testimony for His glory. What a sweet reward!
