What is the place of children in the family? How do we face them during marital crisis? Some deceive themselves by thinking that, when children come, comprehension and understanding between them will be back. What often happens is that the children take the place of the husband or the wife, and this is a serious problem. The children are temporarily given; they come and then leave. You need to understand this. Our wife must be for us the most important person in the family. On the other hand, we expect to continue to remain number one in her life.

And what should be the position of the parents in relation to the children? It should be a position of authority, not authoritarianism; they must raise and avoid alienating the children.

Raising children requires a commitment to live before them the principles of God, teaching them such principles. In this experience, the husband and wife need to find agreement and cooperation. They must be united in the decisions and cannot remove the authority of the other in front of the children.

The husband and wife need to have the wisdom and grace of Christ to support each other’s lives in the difficult days.

Authority Jesus Final

Today’s Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:9-11, Matthew 11:27 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A9-11%2C+Matthew+11%3A27&version=NIV

Speaking about the mysteries of God’s revelation to us, theologian, author and American pastor Robert Charles Sproul says: “There are many truths that God reveals to us about Himself that are beyond our capacity to understand. Given the difference between the exalted character of God and our status as created beings, this difficulty should not surprise us. We may come to greater understanding of many of these mysterious truths at some future point in redemptive history. However, even then we may never fully understand some truths.” [Sproul, R. C. (2011). What Is the Trinity? (Vol. 10, pp. 55–56). Orlando, FL: Reformation Trust.]

We do not have an intellectual, moral, or supernatural ability to know God. However, God is revealed to us. He, on his own free will lets us know a little of what He is, who He is and what He wants from us. Still, we do not know God well. Insecurity takes the place of tranquility, distrust the place of faith and despair the place of serenity.

When we learn about God’s authority, we conclude that He directs all things. Nothing escapes his knowledge, and could not be otherwise: the fate of your life is in God’s hands, nothing will happen by chance!

Let uncertainties in the hands of God. He and only He can guarantee peace, tranquility and security. To approach God, we need to take a small step: a step of faith.

Believe and rest! God exists and cares for your life! He will be with you all the way!

The true disciple of Christ lives to serve.

Order Family
Today’s Reading: Colossians 3:18-21
Where there is disorder, lack of authority and secure leadership, the atmosphere becomes one of confusion, insecurity and failure. God created man and woman to establish the family, to always have an atmosphere of peace, harmony, security and true love between husband and wife, parents and children.

He established these principles: Christ is the head of the husband; the husband is the head of the woman; the woman is the companion of her husband; women should honor her husband and the husband should love his wife; children must obey and honor their parents.

God established the order in the house, but the human tendency is to disorder. Everyone thinks of its own interests: the children are rebellious; the wife does not respect her husband and the husband cannot even imagine what a true love. This causes the home is destroyed.

Before your family is destroyed, think seriously about the principles established by God. He, more than anyone, is interested that his family remains united and stable with him.

What Children Need Most

children 3
You need to always be doing an assessment of your life. Your family, especially your children, need you now when they are growing. Children who spend the whole day without the affectionate presence of their parents, without feeling the security that your authority represent, without physical contact with them, without your spiritual warmth, have the potential of ending with all forms of imbalances.

Without the presence of their parents, what advantage will they draw in the future just because you provided them with a good school, a nice house or a nice car? If their lives are disrupted by psychological crises, fighting and insecurity at home, all the material goods that they can enjoy will be of little value in their lives and their emotional state.

What children need most, time, love, understanding, discipline, you can give now. Just some dedication, time and a lot of love for them will do. Rest assured that the investment represented by these intangibles will mean for them, the difference between success and failure.
