I was amazed to read about some of the sons of Israel. 1 Chronicles 12:14-15 NASB says, “The sons of Gad were captains of the army; he who was least was equal to a hundred and the greatest to a thousand. These are the ones, who crossed the Jordan… when it was overflowing all its banks and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.”

What a vision! To raise a son who is equal to a hundred men! Or even a son who is equal to a thousand other men! In 1 Chronicles 26:29-31 we read about “capable men” and also “men of outstanding capability.”

Don’t aim for raising sons and daughters that are status quo and like everyone else around. Aim your vision higher. Educate children who will think like God thinks instead of the “dumbing down” spirit of this world. Raise sons who will “know their God” and who will be “strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32).
