Obedience
July 29
Obedience puts children in proper relation to their parents-God's representative authorities.
Obedience puts children in proper relation to the outside authorities in their lives-teachers, church leaders, police, etc.
Obedience is a heart attitude that should characterize the spirit of my child; it is not just an outward act.
Obedience puts material things into proper perspective, and shields our children from the dangers of peer pressure.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just and right. Honor your mother and father. Ephesian 6:1-2
"Lord, I ask that my child willingly and eagerly obeys us as his parents. Allow him to recognize and accept joyfully the fact that we are Your representatives to guide and direct him-and Father, please give us as this child's parents, wisdom. We want to be valued as precious by this child.
But if you are unwilling to obey the Lord, then decide today whom you will obey...But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
"Lord, cause my child to see that although many people choose not to obey You, he must make his own commitment. Give him the strength to uphold his commitment to You even when it gets tough. Father, may this child's own resolve to obey You be a shield and protection from the forces that would desire to press him into the world's mold.
