Wise Families Fear And Respect The Lord.

Yesterday, we learned that wise families fear and respect the Lord. Today, let’s focus on the fact that wise families commit themselves to obedience.

As parents, it’s important to teach your children to obey you. Because this is how they will learn to obey God!

In the verses above, the word instruction is from a Hebrew word that includes the idea of counsel, warning, and correction. Dads, your role in the family is to be firm in instruction, to lay down reasonable rules and fair boundaries, and to give correction and fair discipline.

The word teaching in the verses above describes the work of a mother in the house. It’s a word that actually means coaxing or coaching. In other words, moms, your role in teaching is to push your children. Like a mama bird with a nest full of little birds; when it’s time for those baby birds to fly, the mama stirs up the nest, flaps her wings, and coaxes those little birds to elevate!

Parents, I want to ask you today, are you teaching your children to obey you? Furthermore, when your kids look at your life, can they see that you’re obeying your heavenly Father?

Find peace, purpose and strength with Jesus in prayer.
