5 Minutes of Focus
"Listen Linda, Listen!!"
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left.
2 Chronicles 34:1-2 NIV
Where are the adults who will listen to the cry of the children?
God had to believe that there was a remnant who would listen to the children or He wouldn't have appointed Josiah, king at just 8 years old.
If God believed an 8 year old's words, a 8 year old's thoughts were good enough to be shared in a leadership role...
What's wrong with us?
How have we strayed so far away from the example set before us in Scripture?
Parents: Stop taking the word of an adult just because they are "adult."...Listen to your children.
NO CHILD should have to verbally fight, should have to struggle to be heard especially in their own home..."Listen Linda, Listen!!"
Listen to their words, to their thoughts, to how they feel about certain people WITHOUT PUSHING your own opinion off on them.
A lot of wrong behavior AGAINST CHILDREN goes undetected in families, in single parent homes, in schools because NO ONE wants to really stop talking and listen to the children.
We want them to listen to us, to respect us, but shouldn't we do the same? The bible tells children to honor their father & mother; but it also says for the father to not provoke them....It's about showing mutual respect.
Ephes 6:2- 4 NLT.
It's time when started respecting our children's thoughts and feelings. Afterall,
their thoughts and feelings were (originally) formed by God according Psalms 139:13 ERV
Until Next Sunday.
