Memory Verse
Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not exasperate your children: instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
This week we’d like to encourage you to MEMORIZE the verse and hide it deep in your heart. That is what God’s word says for us to do.
This means spending a few minutes each day reading the verse out loud and then repeating it over and over until you have it memorized. By the third day, you should be able to say most of the verse without even looking!
Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not exasperate your children: instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Though we've all heard the proverb, "Spare the rod, spoil the child," harsh words, relentless criticism, or angry outbursts from a father can disfigure a child's soul and cripple their spirit. Moreover, such behaviors aren't what it means to be a father.
But parents aren't perfect. Parents, too, need forgiveness. It's easy for Dads, facing their own pressures and frustrations, to bark at their children. But it's no good, especially when it becomes habitual.
Still, the alternative is not anything goes or that being a good Dad, or good parents, is just letting our children do whatever they want or giving them the idea that the world revolves around them. That's the other extreme and not much good either. No, our children really do need guidance and direction, given with gentleness and patience. And they need us to point them, as we point ourselves, to Christ and his way.
One of my favorite Scriptures about raising children is Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Our Soft & Snuggly Muslin Cotton Swaddle Blankets, displaying this scripture, are the perfect way to wrap your little one in the Word.
