267. Should We Scold Our Children
Manage episode 436432516 series 2838097
Welcome back to the kitchen table. In 1 Thessalonians 5:14, we are commanded to admonish the idle, to caution those who are unruly. As a mother, this can feel like a never-ending task—correcting, guiding, and redirecting.
It’s easy to become discouraged, feeling as if all we do is point out where our children fall short. But this verse reminds us that our role isn’t to arrange every piece of their lives; that’s God’s work.
Jesus delights in arranging what is disordered in our lives. So when we find ourselves correcting our children, let’s do it not with irritation, but with a gentle heart, trusting that God is the one who will ultimately bring order to their lives
