Does God Provide for His Children?
Children may be a blessing, but is it wise to have more than you can provide
for?
In our modern world, it's difficult to provide for a large family.
Having a large enough home, a vehicle that can fit everyone, food to go
around the table, and the time to ensure that each child is getting the
attention, love, and training they need to succeed in this world can be
difficult. Is it irresponsible to have lots of children if you don't
have the income to match their growing needs?
According to Forbes, the average cost for giving birth alone is nearly $20,000 dollars!
According to USDA, in 2015 the average annual cost of raising a child was nearly
$13,000. Add in inflation and that's up to nearly $17,000 as of 2022!
That means that for the average family size of 3.13 in America, nearly
$20,000 a year is going to just raising children! It's no wonder people
don't have more children, we simply cannot afford them with a median
household income of just $70,000 a year.
This week, we're going to get a little personal as we share some of our
family story and how God has extraordinarily provided in the midst of
difficult circumstances. It's from the lessons we've learned on the
journey of taking God at His word, that we have found Him to be faithful
to provide.
