START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Leviticus 12:1-2
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
GIVES BIRTH TO A SON / LEVITICUS 12:2
Parenthood is a blessing from God and can be one of life’s greatest joys (Genesis 1:28; Genesis 9:1; Psalms 127:3; 128:3). The physical waste that was part of childbirth, however, had to be treated as unclean (Leviticus 15:16-19; 13:3; Exodus 19:15). The physical distress and pain of childbirth were a direct result of humankind’s original rebellion against God and “fall” into sin (Genesis 3:15).
- Children are now born with a sinful nature; that is, they are born with a natural focus on selfish desires and the tendency to rebel against God (1 John 1:8). The psalmist wrote: “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me” (Psalms 51:5).
- Everyone born into the world also faces the reality of physical death (Genesis 2:16-17; 5:3) and the possibility of eternal death. The only way to escape eternal death is to accept the forgiveness and new life Christ provided by dying for our sins. Death was never God’s intention or part of His perfect plan for humans. The uncleanness associated with childbirth reveals the truth that the newborn child needs a Savior.
- Christian parents, knowing the sinful natures their children are born with, should sincerely and persistently pray that their children will accept Christ as Lord (the Leader and authority in their lives), be “born again” (not in the physical sense, but in the spiritual sense) (John 3:3-8) and receive new life by God’s Holy Spirit.
