Treasuring God’s Word Together – Psalm 127:3

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

When Scripture is our starting position, great clarity begins to inform the issues and questions of our day.

1. “children are a heritage” A blessing, not a bother. One who belongs, not a burden.

2. “from the Lord” A gift, not an accident. An image-bearer, not a coincidence.

3. “the fruit of the womb a reward” Value and Purpose, not choice or hinderance.

With Scripture as our starting point, may we uphold, defend, rejoice, and celebrate life! For if children are truly “from the Lord”, then there really is no such thing as an “unplanned pregnancy”!
