Scripture

Today, I would like to encourage you to take some time to read through different scripture verses on children obeying/being submissive to their parents. If you're a little shocked at what you read, take some time after to pray and ask God to open up your eyes to see where you’ve been sinning against God and your parents.

Proverbs 20:20- “If anyone curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.”

Proverbs 30:17- “The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.”

Continue looking at God’s plan for the family by reading Ephesians 6:1-4 and Colossians 3:18-21. List the instructions given to each family member. Did you find yourself here? And are you demonstrating a heart devoted to God by obeying God’s instructions to you, or do you need to make some changes? What changes?

Please take some time to look up following scripture verses. What do they teach you about Jesus’ submission to His Father’s will?

Matthew 26:39
Matthew 26:42
John 4:34
John 6:38
John 15:10

Again, what do you learn from Jesus’ example?
