Observation: This is the first great duty which God has enjoined on children. It is to do what their parents command them to do. The God of nature indicates that this is duty, for he has impressed it on the minds of all in every age, and the Author of revelation confirms it. It is particularly important. Because the good order of a family, home and of the community, depends upon it, no community or family will be prosperous where there is not due subordination in the household. Because the welfare of the child depends on it, it being of the highest importance that a child should be early taught obedience to “law”, as no one can be prosperous or happy who is not thus obedient. Because the child is not competent as yet to “reason” on what is right, or qualified to direct himself, and, while that is the case, he must be subject to the will of some other person.
Prayer: Father we pray that you watch over our young children. Father we ask that you help us guide them to your word and that you will give them understanding. Father help us to care for one another, taking time today to reach out and help someone in need.
