Children Ordained For God

Father, Your Son said in Matthew 21:16 that

"From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praises."

Is this true? If it is true, then why are we still hindering them from receiving the fullness of Your everlasting grace upon grace poured onto all mankind, especially upon those who call on Your Name by faith?

Why do we spend more resources preparing our children for worldly uses and lifestyles than for You and Your ways?

Why are we so afraid that we will lose out in the competition of this world till many of us have little left to offer to You?

Won’t our children naturally follow in our footsteps rather than in Yours because they can see us but not You yet? Father, help us view our children from Your perspective, we pray.
