Ephesians 6:1 / Colossians 3:20

Ephesians 6:1- Children, Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Colossians 3:20 - Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

: These two books contain two verses with the same exact rule that all children(and teens) should know. Both tell us to honor our mom and dad. This rule is not only mentioned in these texts, but also is one of Gods Ten Commandments that is therefore found in the book of Exodus. Exodus 20:12 says: " Honor your father and mother, that yours days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you." What do these texts mean by honoring our parents? It simply tells us that honoring our mom and dad here on earth, pleases the Lord. The Lord smiles when we obey the parents that He placed in our lives. Obedience towards parents is the most beautiful thing under the sun. If we obey our parents, we also in the long run are obeying God as well. Now, let's think about this. Is it better to do things our way and be deaf to what our parents tell us to do? Or should we obey them and in doing that, Obey our heavenly Father as well? The answer is simple. We must obey our parents. think about all that they do for us. They only want the best for their children. Us. This generation needs to be thankful for the parents God places in their lives.

APPLICATION: Tomorrow, I will write a letter to God and ask Him for help in obedience. I will lean on Him and also have one of my team mates pray for me as well.

Luke 21 ;19

Luke 21:19 - By your patience, possess your souls. : Here Jesus is talking about patience. " By patience, possess your souls." Patience is key in a believers walk with our heavenly Father. If we are patient, and wait on Him, He will certainly back us up in our spiritual walk with Him, especially in our troubling  times. Our God is a just God, a awesome God who delights in the patience of His children. If we are not patient and don't wait on God, this will grieve our Father immensily . Being patient in tough circumstances is beneficial to the christians way of life. we must always remember that , our Father has our back , no matter how hard the day may be or how loud the spiritual warfare in our heads may get. APPLICATION : Tomorrow, I will be patient if spiritual warfare or conflict comes my way. i will give all my frustrations and worries to my Father in Heaven and will always keep in mind that in tough trials, He has my back, if only I cry out to Him.

Faith

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things unseen : In this verse .it talks about how faith is the substance of things hoped for . Jesus said "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains." This is very true !!  if we believe in the Lord our God , whom is very much real but yet unseen , and if we put all our faith in Him, He can help us in the thick and thin of our every day life . Believe it or not, I learned that during my childhood. I had a childhood experience that I will never forget. I know this may sound very far fetched, but, it is the truth that I know most people who have had the same incident happen, would definitley believe. I must have been 7 years of age at the time when this took place . It was a week after my 7th birthday that me and my friend were playing with a flying disc, or as it is called ,frisby at the time in the backyard and were laughing and carrying on like children do, when my frien

Hebrews 13:5

  Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself said "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." : In this verse, as we read we notice that it tells us to be content with the things we have and not be covetous.Being content with what we have can sometimes be a bit difficult. as humans, we tend to want more and more or tend to become envious of what others have that we don't. We have the urge to crave more and have more, yet forgetting that we should be happy with what God has provided for us. although there are even some people out there who are content with what our father has provided for them. One such soul was a coal miner, he was dirt poor with only the bread on his table and wore shaggy tattered clothes, he also lived in a shack by himself that was worn down and could easily fall over any day. The question was, did that man complain? No! in fact he said the most heartwarming thing that he could
