“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward” (Psalm 127:3).
As we saw yesterday, the birth of a baby is a very serious event, for a new life has come into the world, and it will live as long as God lives. Yet it is a happy occasion too, for human birth is a real miracle. For a number of months, that baby has been growing in the womb of its mother, and at a given time, that baby is born, and starts living its life outside of its mother’s womb. Of course it needs plenty of care and help until it is able to look after itself, but it is being prepared to live on its own.
We must remember that when a baby is born, it is a gift from the Lord. According to our verse today, it is an inheritance from the Lord, and a reward from Him. It is important for parents to recognize this, and to seek to raise that child for Him, and to honor Him.
