FAMILY LIFE
Colossians 3:18-21
"Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Father, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged."
The family is a microcosm of the church. There are overarching principles that help the family and the church family run smoothly – submission, love, obedience, and encouragement. That sounds easy but working them out in practice is a challenge because we are all have individual temperaments and ways of feeling and thinking. But these four principles are standards by which to live in relationship. God, help me to live Your way.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God has given the basic principles for relationship in the family and in the church.
Have a "family" day. Love you.
