Firm Family Foundation

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
Psalm 128:3-4

The question is often asked, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” A corollary is, “Why do godly parents sometimes have ungodly children?” When parents do their best to fear the Lord and raise their children with admonition and nurture in Him, and children still go astray, it can be a heartbreaking experience.

The Bible doesn’t promise that godly parents will never have ungodly children any more than it promises that a godly Christian will never sin. The Old Testament covenant promised the Israelites that the starting place for success in life begins with fearing the Lord (Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Proverbs 1:7; 9:10). We should never think that not fearing the Lord is the path to blessing. If we want to create a godly family, we should begin by fearing the Lord (Psalm 128:1) lest we labor in vain (Psalm 127:1). That is the only direction the Bible offers, even when things don’t go as prayed for.

Never waver from your life-long commitment to honor the Lord, come what may. Your family’s firm foundation is the fear of the Lord
