Scripture: Isaiah 7:15 (NIV): "He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right."
Thought: To me, we need to remember that Christ was unique in the world from conception on.
Question: Do our children need to be taught how to sin?
This "Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14) shall be a discerning child at an early age. He will eat as commonly as other young babes, consuming "curds" (similar to yogurt) "and honey." He will not be raised supernaturally, but rather, in the ordinary way. Yet despite this ordinary upbringing and very young age He will come to "know enough." His wisdom will come at an early age and He will know "enough to reject the wrong and choose the right."
Our Lord Christ "grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men," (Luke 2:52), as the New Testament gospels record. This verse in Isaiah is prophetic of that truth.
Prayer: Father of Christ, thank You for giving us Your one and only Son, and thank You that He was perfect on earth from conception, making Him so unique in wisdom at a very young age. I can trust in this kind of Savior! Amen.
