“Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth......Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecclesiastes 12: 1,13
Resolution Point #5: I will train them to honor authority and live responsibly.
Do you have a healthy fear of the Lord. I think of it this way, my 3 year old has a fear of a "bustin". He can bend any limb to get in the way of a spanking, but the point of it is he has a fear of discipline from his earthly father. Too many times I have let my pride swell and had a lack of fear that I need of my Heavenly Father. Remember that pride always comes before a fall.
Do we teach our kids to honor authority? What do our kids hear us say about our bosses, preachers, politicians? Whether you disagree with politicians or not we are called to pray for our leaders to lead in a Godly way. It doesn't help to pray devastation over them. Pray that God will give them the wisdom to be a Godly leader.
Are you disciplined enough to give you kids the discipline they need? Give them loving Godly discipline.
Raise children of honor, train them to live responsibly.
Courageous Challenge: Ask your children if you have hurt them in any way in the past and never made it right. If so, apologize.
Memory Verse: The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear Gos and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every at to judgement, everything which is hidden, whether it it good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
