THE CHILDREN
Daniel 1:3-4
"The king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of the eunuchs, to bring some of the children of Israel, and some of the king's descendants and some of the nobles, young men in whom there was no blemish, but good looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability in them to serve in the king's palace, and whom whey might teach the language and the literature of the Chadeans."
These children were separated from their parents and displaced to a strange land because of the ungodliness of the older generation, not for their own sin. Even though nations and individuals pay the price for their disobedience of God's way, it is the children who really suffer. Children are not held accountable for the sins of their parents, but they often suffer for them. In our culture, foster children are often separated from their parents, not because of their own fault, but because their parents' . Even if they are not in foster care, children still suffer because of adultery and divorce, alcoholism, abuse, and parents who are incarcerated for their criminal activity. I truly feel sorry for my grandchildren because they will live in a society that is increasingly ungodly and will certainly pay the price for our culture forsaking God. I'm so glad for Jesus and the good news of Christmas.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Children suffer because of the sinfulness of the parents.
Have a godly day. Love you.
