The Prodigal Child

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Luke 15:25 - 28 "Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him."

Friend do you have a child you are concerned for? I mean one that seems to be going opposite his training? Don't give up on them! The Bible teaches that if we train up a child in the way he should go that when he is old he'll not depart from it.

If you have a child that seems to be taking the wrong path let me encourage you to Pray, to fast, to be there at all times for that child. To many times when a child goes astray they get pushed out of the family or they are told never to return to their parents home. This is wrong, God gave you that child to raise and nurture, if you did what God said to do through his word, Yes, the child may go wrong but as we read in Luke 15, A son came home. So who's to say your son/daughter won't come home.

This isn't going to be long but if you have children young or old you should be praying for them daily. This world has so many things to "offer" that our children see as fine, even when taught it's not that we need to bathe them in prayer and as they leave home cont to bathe them in prayer.

Friend if you would like me to join you in prayer for a child I'm going to put my e-mail here which I usually don't do. But Our children are our countries future if we don't train them to serve and follow God who will?

You may e-mail me at: our7isheaven@yahoo.com I will pray if you send me a note.
