I'm preaching through a series entitled 'crucial relationships' and this week I'm looking at parenting! ...talk about bite off more than you can chew!
In looking at Ephesians 6v4... 'Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord' ...i couldn't help but reflect that it can seem that my children can seem most exasperated at those times when i'm trying to train and instruct them in the Lord!
Perhaps training and instructing them in the Lord actually exasperates them because it so often seems different from how our family operates most of the time. ...point being Eph 6v4 isn't merely talking about sitting down with the Bible and reading and praying with your kids - it is that - but much more than that also - living the gospel in family life.
I'm feeling pretty humble at the moment.
