Supernanny to the rescue!

This Wednesday we talked about how Supernanny stepped into the lives of families and "solved their behavior problems". We talked about how when we respond with "in a minute" to a parent's request, it is an act of rebellion. This is sin. No way to sugar-coat it. It is sin.

Further, in 1 Corinthians 10, we read that whether we are eating or drinking or whatever we are doing, we are to do it in a manner that brings glory to God. When we do our chores in a sloppy manner, this does not bring God glory. When dad asks you to clean your room and you shove your clothes on the floor of the closet, this is rebellion...sin.

Lastly, we talked about how we are to do these things cheerfully. Phillipians 2:14 reads that we are to do everything without complaining or arguing. Rolling the eyes, the exasperated grunt, clenching fists...these are all disobedience, acts of rebellion...sin.

It is not easy to be obedient. If it were, God would not have had to tell us so many times to be obedient in the Bible. He also would not have told us to be obedient, if it were impossible to accomplish. Sometimes just being aware of how we behave and calling ourselves out on the bad behavior can help us change. Pray for guidance and a willing heart this week as I will be praying the same for you (and me, too!) God will help you. Have a fantastic week!
