xcitement and joy you can have in life is when you are expecting a baby, and the anticipation of waiting for the day when you will finally hold your precious baby in your arms. This weekly devotional will guide you and your partner through the progress your little one is making from week to week, and more importantly, focus on what the Word of God teaches us about the development of your baby, your spiritual walk as individuals and partners in Christ, and how we are to train up our children in the ways of the Lord. You are about to begin one of life's most beautiful chapters, as parents, and what better way to prepare for this wonderful new role than praying together, seeking the Word of God and leaning on Him for encouragement, and the faith that we as believers can count on, that He has the best in store for you, and for your baby. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations. (Jer. 1:5)
