Come, O Children, Listen To Me
Come, O children, listen to me; I will
teach you the fear of the LORD. Which of you desires life, and covets many days
to enjoy good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are on the
righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against
evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. When the
righteous cry for help, the LORD hears, and rescues them from all their
troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in
spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the
righteous, but the LORD rescues them from them all. He keeps all their bones;
not one of them will be broken. Evil brings death to
the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
The LORD redeems the life of his
servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
Will your legacy be your children?
What will they say about you when you die? Did you do a good job with them? Are
they honorable people? Have you, as a parent, provided for them spiritually,
physically, and emotionally? They are your legacy.
Introduce your children to the Savior,
provide them with spiritual guidance, pray for them, and encourage them to find
mentors who can guide them in godly living.
Sometimes it is a battle. Often it is
expensive in time and toil. But the value of a child overshadows it all.
Little
children are of great value to God.
