Proverbs 31:26-27 (NKJV)
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
What comes out of our mouth can either be a blessing or a curse. We have a choice to make. We must make our mind engage before we loose upon someone, especially our children, words that will cut their spirit. When we open our mouths we are to release words of wisdom. We are not to discourage the dreams God has placed within our children. We are to give wisdom, which means we will have to be in tune with God and His ways. We are to speak words that build up, edify and encourage our children. There are times, our words of wisdom are to be used to discipline; but never to tear down or destroy who they were meant to be. There is too much power in words. We must make sure we use them to bless our children. We must make every effort to stop words that would harm them, destroy their confidence or discourage them from trusting God.
We are to watch over the ways of our household. Our children would have responsibilities around the house, because they are learning of be a part of a family. They are learning to have a sense of pride for accomplishing tasks and doing a good job. We are to give them the opportunity to contribute to the family. You are not their servant, slave or maid, you are their mother or you are their father. This does not mean that you are their task master, slave driver or boss; you and I are to assign family responsibilities and chores as well as teach them to have a good work ethic. As their mother and father, you do not sit idle and make them your servants. Family is strengthened through doing family together, each one has their part to contribute to the family in daily living, weekly living, seasonal living and yearly living. Mothers and fathers do not order their children around, while they do nothing. Neither do they allow their children to leave everything for them to do. Idleness is not good for either. Each person has responsibilities to themselves and to the family. Idleness breeds brats in children and apathy in adults. We each have responsibilities within the family which strengthens the family bond to support, encourage, and honor each one.
Father, I ask for You to show me Your ways. I want to know exactly how to respond to my children. I want to give them wisdom from You. I donate know all that is gong on in their life but You do. Therefore, I want to hear You. I will seek You when they are speaking and if I haven't heard clearly, I will take time to listen to You before responding. I pray my words would be used to bless each child and not curse. I break any word curses I have spoken over or into my children. I loose blessing of peace, direction, courage, wisdom and strength into my children. I ask to know who to distribute the chores, what to assign to my children and what to maintain myself. I ask for You to be clear about responsibilities. I want to raise my children to be responsible adults. I want them to be ready to step into taking care of what is their personal responsibilities and how to contribute within a home setting. I bless my children with kindness, respect, honor, work ethic and wisdom in Jesus' name amen.
