Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him” (Is. 43:5-7).
Notice God starts by calling your children “your descendants,” then He declares, “Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.” Apparently, because your children belong to you, He adopts them as His own—and places His canopy of protection and provision over their lives. Having been dedicated to God, they are “called by His name” and created “for His glory.” The world system wants to claim them for its glory, but God says otherwise. Satanic forces are constantly striving to invade our children’s lives, but God has uttered the war cry:
“I will contend with him who contends with you; and I will save your children” (Is. 49:25).
Face it parents! If we do this job of all jobs right, we need God’s assistance. At best we can only fill our children with Biblical “information” that will help them make right choices in life. Only God can bring revelation that result in character transformation. “All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.” (Isa. 54:13)
