Children are a gift from God. In Luke, the angel Gabriel visited Mary and gave her the good news that God had chosen her to be the mother of Jesus. She would conceive supernaturally. Matthew 1:21 says, "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people form their sins." Mary received God's gift of love; have you?

There was a man who feared the Lord and he was a very wise man. God blessed him with wisdom, wealth and riches. However, he stopped being wise because he stopped fearing the Lord. He began to sin greatly against God and began to worship foreign gods. Gods of wood and stone, gods of foreign nations. He hardened his heart towards God and refused to repent.

He reaped the consequences of his behavior, but not only him, but the nation of Israel as well. Our decisions and actions affect our spouses, children and families. A leader's decisions and actions affect the entire nation. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life." ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind." ‭‭God requires us to be obedient to His commands. Obedience brings the blessings.

God gives us free will, however there are consequences to our choice. If we choose to humble ourselves and obey God, God promises to bless us and give us eternal life. If we choose to disobey God, then we set ourselves as enemies of God and will reap what we have sown. "If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬
