4 Bible verses for weary Christian parents
I’m the father of three boys, 5 years old and under. My youngest is 8 months, and given his vocal performance during our eight-hour car ride yesterday, he’s either tuning up for an opera career or planning to be a tiny acoustical terrorist engaging in asymmetrical sonic warfare. Either way, my ears are still ringing.
As any parent knows, having children, especially young children, means that life is full of joys and laughs but rather light on sleep and silence.
Parenting is both one of the greatest privileges and most daunting tasks one can undertake in this life — and that goes for all parents, not just Christians. By God’s common grace, there are many good parents who aren’t Christians. But for Christian parents, who desire and strive to “raise up a child in the way they should go,” there are more challenges than just sleepless nights. In our increasingly secular society, Christian parents face a daily battle to prevent the filth of the world from streaming into their kids’ minds at every turn (this challenge is, of course, exacerbated by months like June).
