Sometimes as the head of your family, the attitude of your wife and children could make you wonder if anything good can come of them. I believe very strongly in my spirit that there is a husband reading this devotional and you are wondering if your wife and children can manifest godly attitudes. I want to assure you today that there is hope for you and a sure guarantee that your flocks are not to be written off. Your wife and children are a good and godly heritage from God principally for your enjoyment, it doesn’t matter what anyone may have said about them. It doesn’t also matter what satan may have whispered to your heart. Irrespective of the negative picture people or even you may have about your wife and children and even the temptation to abandon them, there is light at the end of the tunnel. And therefore, the Scripture today is coming your way to encourage you and to help you understand that your bad and useless children are not closed cases.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being FULLY PERSUADED that what he had promised he was able to perform (Rom.4:19-21).
You must be fully persuaded that what God has promised, He will and is able to perform. This is where your hope and confidence lie. Your hope is not with men, complaining, murmuring, unforgiveness, bitterness and hatred. Your hope for a rewarding and enjoyable relationship with your wife and children is founded in Christ Jesus. If you understand that Jesus Christ lived with the twelve disciples-all manifesting different attitudes – joyfully till the end, you will appreciate that after all your wife and children are not perfect. They are all work in progress. And as you walk in hope for a better life for members of your flock, God will crown you with glory, honour and peace (Rom.2:10). You are a worker of good and knowing full well that keeping your family as a compact fortress is God’s will (Mal.2:14, Matt.19:5-8), you cannot escape the rewards.
