S: Proverbs 16:32 "Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city."
O: Power and control are two things that the world values highly and yet God through Solomon says, it is better to be patient and have self control. We are called to model Christ to others and to be image bearers and so this is why it is important to have these characteristics in life.
A: I need to value what Jesus values. I need to be patient and self controlled in my parenting. No one else sees what I'm like behind these house doors. God sees and says it is hugely important how I respond to my children.
P: Jesus, I need to realize I should not exert my influence through power but through patience. By being self controlled I can teach and discipline and not punish. Give me strength today to do the right things and value what you value.
