Fledglings

Have you ever watched birds tend to their young. After they are hatched they supply their young with food. The parents go out and find food to feed the little hatchlings. They tend to their needs . As the baby birds grow and start to get their feathers they become fledglings. Fledglings are soon to leave the nest but they are not ready to be out on their own yet as their parent birds have not taught them how to survive or the necessary things they need to know. So the parent birds take the fledglings from the nest and teach them to fly , they teach them how to find food. They also teach them the right foods to eat and which foods to leave alone. They also teach the fledglings what to fear because it may cause them harm, what to stay away from. So many things that could harm a fledgling that it must learn by watching it parents. But sometimes the fledgling have to learn things on their own that for one reason or another the parents were not able to teach them of. But the parent birds gave the fledglings the basic skills to survive in an uncertain world.

This applies also to us , mankind, who have children. When our children are young we tend to their every need because they are unable to care for themselves. We teach them as they grow and try to feed them the proper nourishments for their body. Also we are to teach them of God and God's Word, the Holy Bible. The Bible says to train a child in way you would have it to go.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This is sound wisdom. If you want your children to grow up to serve the world you will teach it of the world and the devil and the worldly ways. But if you want your children to grow up in the Lord teach them of the Lord and His ways. We have the perfect guide book for this to teach from. That book is the Holy Bible. If you truly love your children you will teach them of the Lord and His Word.

We are to teach our children. They do learn by watching us, their parents. How do you want your children to live their life ? For God or for the devil ? Your children are watching you regardless of what you think, they see you as others do not for they are in your presence every day. Teach them the right way so they can know the Lord Jesus and be assured of a Home in Glory with Him.

There comes a time when we, just as the parent birds had to leave their fledglings, we too as parents have to release our children out into this world and into a life of their own. How are you preparing your child for eternal warfare ? How have you prepared your child to live in this sinful world ? Have you taught them of Jesus and His Love ? Have you taken the time to set a good example for your children to follow that will lead them on the right path ? Or have you lived a life that has taught them the road to destruction and hell ? Have you prepared your child for the battle for their soul ? If you love your children, truly love them, then you will prepare them for the most important battle that they will encounter each day of their lives. That battle is the battle for their eternal soul.

I encourage each parent that if they have not shared God with their children to please do so. It will be the best and most important lesson for you to share with your children. Your children will thank you when it is all said and done and the last trumpet sounds. With God in their lives they have an armor that others do not have, to fight against the devil and his regime. Those who are not with or for God are against Him. When it comes to the end we will all have to answer for how and what we chose to teach our children and how we lived our life before them.

If you want your child to learn of God then teach of Him. If you think you can't then take them to Church so they can learn of Him. There is no excuse for not teaching your children about the Lord. As the fledglings leave their parents side so to will our children leave our sides, in time, to pursue a life on their own. I intend to give my children what they need to help them fight against this world and to hold onto Jesus/God. I have taught my children of the Lord and I still am. One never quits learning in and of the Lord for He shows each of us, who are His children, new things each day. Please prepare your children for the time when they, like the fledgling, are ready to leave the nest and live on their own. Prepare them with, in and of the Lord.
