Simple Thoughts On Promises- 307

Simple Thoughts On Promises- 307

All these were sons of Heman the king's seer. They were given him through the promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. (1 Chronicles 25:5)

King David, together with the commanders of his army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying. The Bible gives a list of 14 sons of Heman and then we read, "All these were sons of Heman the king's seer. They were given him through the promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters."

Notice the part of the title verse that says, "They (sons) were given him through the promises of God to exalt him."

There are some in our generation who consider "children" a burden and a nuisance and some choose not to have children though they are married. Here, "children" were a gift from God to Heman the seer.

Do you consider your child/children as a gift from God?

We read in Psalm 127;
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. (v3)

Do you consider your child/children, a heritage and reward from the Lord?

And about "grand-children", the Bible says,
Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. (Proverbs 17:6)

As a parent...Are you the pride of your child/children?
