(Eph 6:1-3 NKJV) Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. {2} “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: {3} “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
I’d like to say something today that may come across as meddling if not taken correctly, but I hope we can all receive it in love, as it is intended to be written.
Our children are given to us by God, as a gift. They are entrusted to us to take care of them, nurture them and give them godly guidance.
What I see so much of today is that children aren’t being guided as they need to be. Too many children are in charge of their homes, instead of being subject to the leadership of the parents.
Much of this is due to the demands of society on the parents. Households where both parents work full-time jobs can make it hard for the children to have as much parental care and discipline as there should be.
Regardless, we have been given the responsibility to care for our children and raise them to be respectful and honorable.
Let’s take inventory and be sure that we’re not lacking in the area of caring for our children and giving them the guidance and discipline they need.
