The Essential Role
Good morning
Scripture reading: Ephesians 6:1-9
Worship song: Teach Me to Obey
Meditation:
The Apostle Paul, in his sixth epistle to the Ephesians, is directed at the household and how believers should live their lives in light of salvation. His message specifically addresses the responsibility within the family structure, urging respect, obedience, and adherence to instructions. Paul highlights the essential role of instilling biblical principles, particularly encouraging fathers to guide their children with love and wisdom.
Children are encouraged to honor and respect their parents, aligning their behavior with godly authority. Children's obedience to parents and servants to their masters should be motivated by the desire to honor God and live by his precepts. Likewise, the master should treat their servant with respect, justice, fairness, and kindness, knowing they have to answer to their heavenly Master. Let your conduct be honorable to God, pleasing him with goodwill, doing the will of God from the heart.
Every person will be judged by God according to
their actions regardless of whether they are bound or free.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father clothed in splendor and majesty, we
exalt your name above all. Lord, we thank you for your word of wisdom and for
inspiring holy men to write what you want to reveal to us. May we, O God, fully
commit to your teachings and incorporate Christian principles into our lives
daily. Father, may our actions be a desire to please you in all things. May we
treat others with the uttermost respect, kindness, and justice, knowing we have
a master who will judge us according to our actions. I declare that adversity
will not prevent us from following your will and precepts. Empower us, Lord, to
love others as you have loved us. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, may
we faithfully adhere to your commands and extend compassion, mercy, and kindness
to all, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Have a blessed day. 💞🙏
All that one need for a successful and prosperous life is outlined in His word, all one need to do is to follow in them. Often times people forget and stray so far some never return. In all things God is able and willing to help anyone back to the place where one started. Thank God for life anew. Let us remain steadfast and un movable abounding in His work.
