Does it seem odd to require someone to honor us?
If it's really honor, shouldn't they do it with out being told? Well, this may be true concerning other people in our lives, but not our children. They MUST be taught!!!
The bible says: "Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth" (Ephesians 6:1-3). Is it not scary to you that, if our children do not obey this command of the Lord, they could not only be cut off from all that God has for them, but, the lives of these precious little ones could also be shortened? The fact that we, as parents, can affect the length and quality of our children's lives, is reason enough to pray, instruct and discipline them!
Rebellion WILL surface in your child at one time or another.
Be ready to meet the challenge with prayer and the Word of God, along with correction, discipline, and teaching.
Don't be intimidated, dear friend, by a rebellious spirit. Jesus is Lord above that, too.
