Ephesians 6:4 - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Many of us who have raised children failed to do so in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. That is often the reason for rebellion, because deep down, what children want are boundaries set by a father who loves them. They desire a firm but loving daddy who cares enough for them to not let them make wrong choices. Often, our disinterest and lack of love equated to provocation and the anger that so many children experience today. Those of us who are fathers will never quit being fathers. Even though we have made mistakes, God desires to redeem our children even when they are grown and far from the Lord (Acts 2:39). Though we have sown the whirlwind regarding our children (Hosea 8:7), His desire is to rebuke the devourer off their lives and bring them home once again (Malachi 3:11). Lord, may You have your way in the hearts of our children, bringing them to You and for Your glory, Amen!
