Just as Jochebed needed to consistently look inward to know how and where to make her faith work over her son, you too have to come to that point of reality where you can look inward to trust God to get inspired as to how to make your faith work as God intends. For the scripture says that through faith, Jochebed preserved her son from death. Your seed, too, shall be preserved.
Jochebed (the mother of biblical Moses) and Bathsheba were said to be highly realistic; this attitude helped them to be well positioned to birth God’s purpose for their child.
What is the reality of the situation you are in right now concerning your children? Rise up like the Bathsheba that you are and ensure that he or she lives and reigns.
It is important to know your limits as a parent and know when to seek help promptly as needed; that is part of being realistic
Many parents do not know how to press into the fulfillment of God’s promises for their children because they are rigid and not realistic enough to adopt the change and new parenting skills that each phase of their child’s development requires.
The next letter of the acronym P-A-R-E-N-T after A-Admiration is R which will be a referenced parent must be realistic in carrying out his or her duty.
A –admiration is a very important virtue in parenting, as it involves seeing what God is seeing in your child and saying what God is saying over him or her. However, it takes faith and sensitivity to call those things that are not as though they are.
Moses’s mother admired him and said he was a good boy! What are you saying to your child? What do you call him or her?
Jochebed could have called her child misfortune or calamity because of the circumstances that were contesting with his survival rather she saw goodness in him; so her strength to preserve him was enhanced. What are you seeing in your child?
Patience and comparison do not align. God’s purpose for you in parenting might be different from that of your parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and others.
