Luke 2 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

God’s grace was upon Jesus as He grew up. [v.40]

That same grace is upon our children when we raise them to serve the Lord. They will do and say things that indicate God’s call upon their lives, and they will shine with abilities that foreshadow how God will use them.

Take me, for instance. Music always came easy, and my natural musical ability qualified me for privileges and experiences our of the ordinary. The aptitude was just THERE. Then, I go to music school and live a life of musical service to the Lord’s Kingdom. Patty didn’t even know I could sing when she married me.

It’s not wise to fight against the gifts of God in children. George Fredrich Handel’s family wanted him to be a doctor, but God had other plans for his life … Hallelujah!
