Why is it that we can see that David learned to trust God in the thick of things as a boy with the lion and the bear, and yet we think that our children cannot learn these lessons of faith as well? What is worse, we set a life before our children that doesn’t even require faith. We give a keepable standard that casts them on their own resources and native abilities and endowments—turning them away from Christ and his cross to themselves and their own resources.
