Today I have a guest blogger: my eight year old daughter. Lately, she's been having an issue with obedience, so I told her that we needed to do a study on obedience. What does the Bible have to say about it? Well, it turns out the Bible says a lot about it, but I managed to find verses to give her a one week Bible study. One verse per day--more or less--and a story of obedience on the last day.
So here is what she wrote about the first verse: Ephesians 6:1.
I don't really like this verse, because sometimes it's hard to obey my parents. What mommy tells me to do is tough. I don't have confidence in what I'm supposed to do, but mommy has confidence in me. I know God didn't make any mistakes. I try to be like him.
I like helping her, but sometimes I don't like to. Playing is fun, but chores go first. I enjoy doing it in my own way, but sometimes Mommy wants it done in her own way. God wants me to obey my parents even when I don't feel like obeying them.
The End!
In the next few days, she'll explore the fifth commandment, the way Jesus acted toward his parents, and the way that Jesus learned obedience. On the last day, she'll read I Samuel 15, which shows what can happen when you don't do what God wants you to do. She'll memorize one of my favorite verses: I Samuel 15:22. Next week I'll let you know how she did.
To God be the glory!
