And [Samuel’s] sons walked not in his ways. 1 Samuel 8:3
How many times in the Old Testament have great men of God suffered heartache because of their children’s failure to follow on. This should bring a response from us who have been blessed with believing children. Firstly, thank the Lord for his goodness to us—salvation is not inherited! Secondly, pray for those families who have done their utmost to instruct their children in the right paths, that they will be blessed by seeing children and grandchildren saved, or restored, later in life. —Brian Russell
We ask not for them wealth or fame,
Amid the worldly strife;
But in Thy all prevailing name,
We ask eternal life. —Thomas Hastings
