I Am Proud of My Kids
“"saying, 'I will proclaim your name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing your praise.'"
Hebrews 2:12

"And again, 'I will put my trust in Him.' And again, 'Behold, I and the children whom God gave me.'"
Hebrews 2:13

verse 12:saying, 'I will proclaim your name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing your praise.'"

This is a picture of Christ speaking to the Father. The key words in verse 12 are "proclaim" and "sing." "I will proclaim your name" and "I will sing your praise."

It reminds me once again of Zephaniah 3:17: "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing" (NIV).

verse 13: “And again, 'I will put my trust in Him.' And again, 'Behold, I and the children whom God gave me.'"

The key words in verse 13 are "trust" and "gave."

The 4-fold focus on these Old Testament quotations is upon the words: (1) "Proclaim"; (2) "sing"; (3) "trust"; and (4) "gave."

The Lord Jesus is pictured here as proud of the relationship: "not being ashamed to be calling them brethren." He, the Messiah, will proclaim the name of God the Father to the brethren. He will sing His praise to the brethren. And like the brethren, He will put His trust in Him. He then puts them on display; "Behold, I and the children whom God gave me."

The Savior is constantly and confidently awaiting the fantastic future that's before us.

My heart is overwhelmed with song and with singing. Please join me in singing that great song "Until Then":
My heart can sing when I pause to remember;
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail that's winding always upwards.
This troubled world is not my final home.

The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they're borrowed for a while
And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble,
Remembered there will only bring a smile.

This weary world with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife
The Soul of man is like a waiting falcon,
When it's released it's destined for the skies,

But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
