Reading: Colossians 3:20-21, Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Devotional: Children obey not merely to please parents but to please the Lord. Parents, your authority is delegated from God, carrying both privilege and responsibility. You must not discourage or embitter your children through harsh, inconsistent, or loveless discipline. Your children should never doubt your love, even when facing consequences. Speak life over them consistently—not just on holidays, but daily. Tell them you believe in them, that you're for them, that your love is unconditional. When they fail, be the parent who helps them through the next door rather than reminding them of the wrong one they chose. Your goal isn't perfect obedience but hearts that learn to please God. Model grace, speak truth, and love relentlessly. Your children are watching how you reflect Christ.
