2 Kings 20:16-19
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD : The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, that will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
“The word of the LORD you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. For he thought,“Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?”
I was surprised for a moment: King Hezekiah did not care how his children will turn out! The fore-fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not like that, they prayed blessings for their children. I remembered Abraham prayed for Lot so that God will save him and his family. Father Abraham with a heart of fathering.
I can’t fully know the condition of my heart, but as of this moment, I can pray for my spiritual children.
Will you join me to take a couple of moments to pray for your children that are yet to be birthed, your physical children or your spiritual children?
