Our children are worth fighting for

Children are a gift from the Lord; They are a reward from Him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!

What Does Remnant Mean and Why Does God Preserve a Remnant?
The Dictionary defines the word remnant: A portion of people left after a disaster, especially a disaster identified with divine judgment. In the case of the Old Testament Prophets, this term describes those who remain faithful to God despite suffering and who ultimately experience restoration. Typically what remnant means in the Bible is a reference to those who are left or what is left after a battle or great calamity. It is most often a reference to the people of Israel however there are instances where this has been used while alluding to other nations.
You might wonder why does God preserve a remnant? The answer is simple it is because God chooses to fulfill His purpose in the earth through ordinary men and women like you and me. Because He desires to fulfill His plan in this manner, He seeks out and preserves a people who are ready and willing to follow Him regardless of the direction that everyone else is going.
These people who make up the remnant are instrumental in preserving God’s character, God’s purpose, and God’s will in the earth. Therefore those who make up the remnant represent hope along with the promise and possibility of restoration. God assigns high value to those of His people whom He sets aside to be labeled as “remnants”.
