In the final week of The Wise Family series, we looked at Proverbs 16:9: “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Parenting carries a deep tension. We are called to take responsibility, make wise plans, shape direction, teach truth, and intentionally point our children toward Jesus. But we are also reminded that we are stewards, not saviors.
Wise parents make the plan, but they trust God with the outcome. We can pray, disciple, guide, correct, and model repentance, but only God can change a heart. This sermon is not just for parents. It is for anyone learning to trust God with the future, the people they love, and the outcomes they cannot control.
The good news is that Jesus meets us in our fear, regret, shame, and grief. He died for imperfect parents, prodigal children, and every one of us who has tried to build a life apart from God. And because He rose from the dead, our failures are not final. We can walk in faithfulness, release control, and trust the Lord with the steps. Thanks for listening!
