生养儿女的福份

作者:每日箴言   来源:普世佳音

“儿女是耶和华所赐的产业;所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。” - 诗 127:3

如果你有幸有了孩子,你会像神一样看待他们吗?当你在养育孩子的过程中遇到困难和挑战时,你是否从神的话语中寻求鼓励,使你不放弃养育孩子的使命?诗篇 127篇说,儿女是“耶和华所赐的产业”,“箭袋充满”的人便为有福。

儿女是神赐予的礼物。我们不是为自己生养儿女;神把儿女赐给我们,好叫我们养育他们,使他们认识神。我们的孩子需要知道,他们和我们一样,乃是蒙召为神而活,并要事奉祂。神赐给我们的孩子生命和许多美好的礼物,叫他们渐渐知道和明白他们的使命是什么。他们的使命可能与我们的不同,可能与我们所期望的非常不同。但我们可以相信神会引导孩子,使他们荣耀神。毕竟,神是他们的创造主,他们属于神。他们的身体和灵魂都属于祂,和我们一样。

我们的儿女是祝福,而不是我们生活中的问题或障碍。作为神家里的一员,他们可能会在我们需要的时候帮助我们,就像其他家庭和社区成员一样。

我们被呼召要爱我们的儿女,“照着主的教训和警戒”养育他们(弗 6:4)。他们是来自神的礼物,且带给我们幸福和喜悦。

祷告

父啊,求你帮助我们在你所赐给我们的儿女身上体会到幸福。愿我们养育他们,使他们认识你,并忠心侍奉你。奉基督的名,阿们。

诗篇 127篇

1若不是耶和华建造房屋,建造的人就枉然劳力;若不是耶和华看守城池,看守的人就枉然警醒。
2你们清晨早起,夜晚安歇,吃劳碌得来的饭,本是枉然;唯有耶和华所亲爱的,必叫他安然睡觉。
3儿女是耶和华所赐的产业,所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。
4少年时所生的儿女,好像勇士手中的箭。
5箭袋充满的人便为有福!他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候,必不至于羞愧。

Children, A Reason For Happiness

"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him." - Psalm 127:3

英语音频 English Audio

If you have been blessed with children, do you see them as God sees them? In your struggles and challenges in raising children, do you look for encouragement in the Word of God so as not to give up in the task? Psalm 127 declares that children are "a heritage from the Lord," and happy is the one "whose quiver is full of them."

Children are a gift from God. And we do not generate children for ourselves; God gives them to us so that we may raise them to know him. Our children need to know that, like us, they are called to live for God and to serve him. God gives our children life and many good gifts so that they can grow to know and learn what their calling in life will be. Their calling might be different from ours, and it might be very different from what we expect. But we can trust that God will guide our children so that their lives will glorify him. After all, God is their Creator, and they are his. They belong to him, body and soul, just as we do.

Our children are a blessing, not a problem or an obstacle in our lives. And as a part of God's family, they may help us when we are in need, just as other family and community members do.

We are called to love our children and raise them "in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). As God's gifts, they bring happiness and joy.

Prayer

Father, help us to find happiness in the children you have given us. May we raise them to know and serve you faithfully. In Christ, Amen.
