Recently heard from Ephraim who had been quite unruly and ungrateful..."Daddy, I am done with my attitude now". Easy words for a four year old to say when he thinks it might get him out of trouble. Yet as always it is a reminder to his dear old mama that God would love to hear that from me.
So to my heavenly Father, I say "Abba, Father, I am done with my attitude". I want God's attitude. In Ephesians 4, our family discussed having a new attitude, God's attitude. In Ephesians 5, we were challenged to imitate God as His dearly loved children. Bearing that in mind, everyone (in my family anyway) can use an attitude adjustment.
Now we are in Ephesians 6 - verses 1-4 give us more food for thought. Children obey your parents... Fathers (mothers included too), do NOT exasperate your children but train them in the way of the LORD. Very tall order for us all. Certainly requires an attitude check and adjustment.
