I’m thankful the Lord tells us about the failures of some of
the biblical characters. If we didn’t know about their struggles and sins, we
would think they were perfect. This could make us feel like we could never be
successful at obeying God.
These accounts were given to us as an example (1 Corinthians
10:11). We can learn from all the triumphs and failures of biblical fathers.
The same lessons can apply to mothers, as well.
Here are few examples of how our ancient ancestor’s parenting mistakes brought consequences, but also how God’s mercy and grace brought redemption.
