Foresight for parenting

God trusts us to raise our children in a way that is pleasing to Him so that they may be fruitful as they mature with age. As a part of this we must have rules that governs them and behavioral habits that guides them. Children, in their lack of foresight and in their youthful desires continually challenge our rules and question our governance over their activities. At times they will be very rebellious and will act and say things that hurts our feelings. Even in this vulnerable state, we must be steadfast and continue to parent our children as described in the Bible. We have foresight our children do not and we are to understand God holds us responsible to do what we are supposed to do and that is raise our children to be responsible, productive and respectable people who love the Lord.

Philippians 3:14
