Obeying Is Trusting
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."Ephesians 6:1
Reflection
Obeying is easier when we understand parents are trying to protect, not to spoil things. It is trusting that they see a bit further.
Prayer
Lord, help me obey with a willing heart. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why do parents give rules?
- How is obeying a way of trusting?
- Which rule at home protects you?
5-minute activity
Play "Simon says" with a twist: afterwards, the child guesses why each house rule exists, such as holding hands when crossing the street. Read Ephesians 6:1-3.
