John Hagee Sunday Daily Devotional 14th November 2021 – Ephesians 6:1

JOHN HAGEE DAILY DEVOTIONAL 14TH NOVEMBER 2021 SUNDAY

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

“You’re not the boss of me!” Sound familiar, parents?

We love them with all our hearts. We make sacrifices to provide for all their needs. We take them to church and practice our faith to be Godly, genuine examples. And yet?

Children have responsibility in this equation, too. God instructs them to honor their parents. Not a suggestion, this is a commandment that carries a promise. If they choose to obey, they will enjoy a long life in which things go well for them. For the child who treats his parents with contempt, God reserves a curse.

We must teach our children to take this responsibility seriously. We begin by honoring our Heavenly Father, demonstrating the reverence and respect that He is due. We also honor our own earthly parents – extending forgiveness for past hurts and practicing grace in the present.

And always, we must guard the authority that God gives us as parents – not pals. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child (Proverbs 22:15), and we must administer the discipline, correction, and training that will help our children mature to walk in God’s commandments.

Parents, love your children. Train them up in the way they should go. Children, obey your parents in the Lord. This is right.

Blessing:

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May you choose to obey your Heavenly Father and honor your earthly parents so your children will honor and obey you. May things go well with you as God blesses you with long life according to His Word.
