There seems to be an overwhelming battle between the two thoughts.
Thought 1: I'm in control of my destiny and therefore every decision I make Will without a doubt affect that said destiny.
Thought 2 : I will be a "good" Christian take everything in prayer and Jesus will fix everything.
Both thoughts biblically seem to be false. Thought 1 puts us as God, and takes us away from having true faith. I mean if God can make the Heavens and the Earth, he surely can despite our control alter our destiny for his Will. Thought 2 is however dangerous as well. The idea that we can put our children in the face of danger (open internet, tv, video games, magazines, etc.) and take it to prayer that God will just fix everything I dont see that in scripture.
My friends it is our responsibility to be aware of danger and flee from it. Proverbs 22:3 and 27:12
Get internet filters take precautions. Dont leave your children to themselves.
However, no matter how well we protect ( as we should Matt 7:11) the enemy will lurk seeking to steal, kill, and destroy.
Raise our children live them and protect them (Eph: 6:4) . Point them to Christ. Teach them to repent and follow Christ. (Luke 13:3 & 5 and many others). As well as taking all our cares and concerns to God seeking his will for ourselv |
