In Genesis 18:19, God made a powerful statement about Abraham:
“For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord…”
This was not a casual comment;
God was testifying of Abraham’s parenting.
Abraham received God’s approval because he took responsibility for raising his household in the fear of God.
He didn’t just love his children, he trained them.
So let’s reflect today:
If God examined your parenting, mentoring, or guidance:
Would He find:
- Consistency?
- Prayer?
- Discipline with love?
- Patience?
- Example, not just instruction?
Or would He find:
- Neglect?
- Outsourcing parenting to schools and churches?
- Silent hopes but no intentional training?
The Honest Question
On a scale of 1–10, how are you raising the children God placed in your care?
Not just feeding them.
Not just clothing them.
But forming their hearts.
You may not be a biological parent yet.
You may be a teacher, youth leader, aunt, uncle, or mentor.
Still, the question stands.
Because every child around you is learning something from you.
A Gentle Call to Refocus
Growth begins with honesty.
Where you are is not where you have to remain.
Ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen your:
- Consistency
- Patience
- Discipline
- Example
- Prayer life
Because the destiny of a child is shaped one seed at a time.
