What about the Children?

I write this article to address the question that inevitably comes when a person realizes that they are committing adultery and they should not stay in that situation. Many may use the excuse of the children's future to prevent them from doing God's will.

Well I was raised in a divorced family since I was the age of one. I don't ever remember having both my mother and father together. By the age of fourteen I was living on my own, working for myself. Yet, I can look back and see the hand of the LORD throughout my entire childhood, although I did not yet know Him. When I read Isaiah 50, it reminds me of how the Lord took care of me throughout my childhood, especially when the LORD asks "Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem?".

"Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.

For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God."

Isaiah 50:1,2,7,10-11

Let us lay hold of the all the promises that the LORD God will help us. Let us be sons of obedience, not sons of justification.
