These Children of Faith

Children are moldable and their futures are shaped by everything around them

I believe that a faith in God is the most important foundation for any child

As the world continues to fall further from God it’s important that faith doesn’t fall away too

Seeing children and teens praising God with their many talents gives me a new sense of hope

Never underestimate the impact they can have on their peers and those both younger and older

They praise God with their voice by singing in a choir and through bible reading

They praise God by learning to sign for the deaf and tell stories with puppet skits and live dramas

I pray that God will raise up a new generation of believers who will shout his praises

Children from every corner of the world who will pray fervently for his blessings on others

Where are the people whose courage is as mighty as Daniel in the den of lions?

People who have the strength and perseverance of Samson to push through the dark

Where are those who are not afraid to claim their faith regardless of the repercussions

Moms and dads and aunts and uncles and grandparents and all those in position of authority

You have got to show these children what it really means to be faithful everyday

You have got to show them the path to follow that will lead them straight to God

No matter what obstacles they will face they will never be alone

When they can’t walk, God will carry them through their weakness

When they feel despair, he will give them a glimmer of hope

When they are just about to give up He will give them another reason to keep living

There is no end to the influence that parents have on their children

It’s up to each of them to decide if their influence will be good or bad

I’m not a parent but I work with a lot of kids at church and I know

I see the way God works through them and am amazed at the strength of their belief

I used to fear the future because I felt sure we’d lose faith and never regain it

Now I know God has a plan to keep His name in the hearts of men forever
