WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued
By J. Richard Fugate
God’s Promise of Blessing for Children
Proverbs 3: 1 & 2 “My son, forget not my law, but let thine heart keep my commandments; For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”
God has a plan for every life, a plan that incorporates even the unfairness of this world. Perhaps the child who receives unfair treatment at the hand of his parents requires just that kind of pressure in order to submit his will to God. Perhaps God is preparing such a child to glorify Himself through suffering just as Job did. God’s plan is greater than anything we can comprehend with our finite minds in our limited moment of time. We see an innocent, defenseless child while God sees a soul for which He has made complete provision. God makes no mistakes; therefore we must allow Him to deal with rebellious parents.
As a human authority, you will make many mistakes even if you desire to be right and just. These mistakes can be from ignorance of what or how to deal with children, or they can be a result of sin. An authority does not have to be perfect in his rulership. Obedience and respect for the power of rulership is often learned from what appears to be unfair or incompetent leadership. Parents, you are the authority – right or wrong! Do not allow the fact that you are human and subject to error hinder you from meeting your responsibilities. God knew you were imperfect when He gave you a child. The recognition of this fact should make you dependent on Him, not cause you to avoid the responsibility.
A father is in church with three of his young children, including his five year old daughter. As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the children could properly witness the service. During this particular service, the minister was performing the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five year old girl was taken by this, observing that he was saying something and pouring water over the infant's head. With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned to her father and asked: "Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby?"
