Children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. (Psalm 127:3)
A child is one of the most beautiful gifts that God entrusts you with. And when you make a decision to dedicate your child to the Lord, you are placing your little soul in His hands, asking Him to fill you with His divine wisdom that would help you to bring up your child in the ways of the Lord.
Parents are encouraged to follow up this important commitment by living a lifestyle that would glorify God before their kids, earnestly praying for the child and bring them up according to the Bible.
