Are You Worried Over Your Children?

Mea e 'ai e tatau ma le aso
"Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they (thy children) shall come again from the land of the enemy."   (Jeremiah 31:16)

All parents should make an angelic hedge about their children by prayer; they should pray with full faith that God will abide with them and that holy angels will guard their children from Satan's cruel power.

Fathers and mothers, everyday in the morning and evening, should lift up their hearts to God in humble supplication for yourselves and your children.  You see, our children are daily exposed innocently to a world ruled by principalities of spiritual powers, temptations and trials.  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]."  (Ephesians 6:12)

There are threats and luring invitations that daily beset the path of both young and old; and those of you who live patient, loving, honest lives, must continually pray for His Intercessory protection.

It is the duty of all Christian parents, morning and evening, by earnest prayer and unshakable persevering faith, to make a hedge about your children through God's mighty arm of protection.  

But we must first walk in the light as Christ is in the light.  As you take up the daily devotion of lifting up your children and maintaining your position of God fearing parents.  We must brace and prepare ourselves for the most heart quenching trials, because they will surely come.  "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ;"
(1Peter 1:7)

This troubled world is increasingly getting colder and colder.  But do not lose your resolve... Difficulties will arise.  We will all meet obstacles along the way.  "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." 
(Matthew 24:12)

But, let us look constantly to Jesus.  The author and finisher of our faith. When an emergency does arise, let us ask, Lord?   "Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel"...(Psalms 73:24)

The harder the battle fought, the greater our need of our heavenly Father.   And the more we are marked for our childrens sake, the sweeter the victory gained.  "Fear thou not; for I (am) with thee: be not dismayed; for I (am) thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."   (Isaiah 41:10)   "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."  (Matthew 19:14)
