We must show God's great grace to our children.

 

 

When King Solomon thought of his father David he knew

 that the Lord had given his father “great lovingkindness” (2 Chron. 1:8).

That “great lovingkindness” was the Lord took David from the pasture,

from following the sheep, to be ruler over God’s people Israel (2 Sam. 7:8).

 

I thought about in Solomon’s perspective in thinking it was God’s great lovingkindness

that He took his father David from the pasture to be ruler over God’s people Israel.

In Solomon’s perspective, his father David slept with his mother Bathsheba,

 made her pregnant and killed her husband Uriah intentionally in order to cover it up

and took her to be David’s wife.

In Solomon’s perspective, was his father David deserve to be the king over God’s people Israel?

 

How can we as parents show God’s great lovingkindness to our children?

I think and believe that instead of trying to show them we are perfect parents,

It’s better to humbly acknowledge and confess not only before God but also before our children

How weak, lack and imperfect parents we are as we continue to realize them

in our relationship with God and go to them just as we are.

And I think we shouldn’t end there.

We should also confess to our children how we are living by God’s great lovingkindness day by day.
