While watching my youngest at his swim classes today, I saw a baby being taught how to swim. I was in awe of how well the baby was doing and also how brave the parent was to have their baby start to learn already. Now I’m well aware that early swim lessons are a very good idea. As a mom watching a baby swim, our children swim, can be a little daunting. Although that parent of that baby was confident in the teacher and knew that it was beneficial to their baby. Just as I was trusting my son’s teacher. Friend, as a parent we need to trust God, as our teacher, always. That He will guide not only us, but our children too. That He is there protecting, teaching and helping us learn new skills as we navigate life. Just as both this baby and my son were learning new skills. Although their teacher was beside them, keeping them safe and teaching them how to be safe; so, does God. May we go to God always and trust Him in His abilities to guide, care and protect. For He truly does.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
