Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Dads: while our children know how to push our buttons, we need to rise above our emotions that give way to unrighteous anger
And the only way to NOT succumb to those emotions is to set your mind, and your focus ,on what is God’s counsel at such a time.
It is not easy, though: many of us have failed, but success is not measured by never failing, rather, success begins when we getup one more time than we have failed.
So…let’s unpack this…
Firstly, discipline helps one be aware of heathy boundaries; and, secondly, Instruction helps lay out the consequences for transgressing those boundaries.
In other words, what this means is that it takes a whole lot of work to build, maintain, restore healthy relationships with our children, Dads .
In conclusion, think about this: instead of expending our emotional energies by pushing our kids’ buttons, let’s put our energies towards helping yur children learn the benefits of Godly living.
