Ephesians 6:4

And, ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

What of Today’s Verse…

Mothers have such an inside road with children that it is interesting that God commands fathers to be about the work of spiritual nurture. I don’t believe he means to exclude mothers. No, I think he assumes they’ll do their part. But the father’s influence and intentional training is so essential.

Let us Pray…

Abba Father, may my children come to find you in me. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.’
