CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN BLESSED by KIM BILLIPS

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL 

You might want to take a second look at this promise from Scripture. Are you worried about your children or a wayward child? This is a serious encouragement!

I was desperate for this promise after my husband, and I divorced. It was an ugly divorce and unwanted by me. Our children were 13, 10, and 7 years old at that time, they were crushed. There was a devastating aftermath for a long time. I understand firsthand why God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). He knows it breaks the heart of everyone involved.

One day during this very dark period in our lives, I was desperate. So desperate that I lay on the floor of my bedroom and bawled. I reached for my Bible for some comfort. I don’t remember how I opened it up exactly to this Scripture. All I know is I don’t recall having ever read this particular passage. I now believe the LORD was helping me, nudging me in the right direction. God is so good. He is a very real comfort in our times of need.

The promise that I wouldn’t “bear children doomed to misfortune” jumped off the pages and comforted my broken heart for my children. From that day forward, I would pray and declare this Scripture over my children (and future grandchildren).

It’s been 13 years since that very dark hour in our lives. Even today, when I pray for my adult children, I still pray that promise for them.

Take a minute to jot down your children’s and grandchildren’s names and declare their biblical blessing. What a gift to give your family – blessings!
