Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-21

Ephesians 6:1 (NKJV) 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

There are always some kinds of consequences for our disobedience, whether as a child or an adult.

I remember as a child, my brothers and I wanted to go swimming so badly. Our neighbors had a pool, and we were friends with their son.

We convinced the son to let us use the pool, despite knowing that we weren’t allowed to do so if the parents weren’t home.

We didn’t care. It was hot that day, and our only thought was that swimming would cool us down.

Well, as we were having a good time in the pool, the mother came home from work early. And guess what. We were nabbed.

The consequences were something like this; no more pool, ever again.

We lost all our privileges because of that one time. As kids that was devastating. But we did know better.

Realizing our error and receiving the punishment, knowing it was our own faults, was what we walked away with. And we learned from it.

It was painful, especially on those hot summer days.

Life can teach us valuable lessons if we pay attention.

Are you living in your consequences? Is it painful?

Take the good from it and learn whatever it is you need to remember.

If it’s to obey authority, do it. If it is to obey God Himself, maybe He has been telling us not to be involved in certain things.

Listen and walk away from it before consequences hit.
