Micah 6:8 He has shown you oh man what is good and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.
Isn't it a blessing to your soul when you are treated with justice? Our souls just sigh when we have been understood and judged rightly in a situation, and when we have been dealt justice! May we deal justly with our families today, and thus teach them to deal justly with others.
Love mercy; it is easy to love mercy when we are on the receiving end of it! May we do unto others as we would have them do unto us today, and in showing mercy to our children we will be teaching (Matt.7:12) them to show mercy to their siblings!
Walk humbly with thy God; Humility is the antithesis of pride. Pride is like a serpent~it slithers in unawares and makes nary a sound but it's 'bite' is deadly indeed! May we walk in humility today in our families and thus teach them by our example to be humble people. The Lord hates pride. As a matter of biblical fact he even abhors a proud look! (Prov. 6 16-19)
If I am going to teach my children to be just, merciful and humble then I have much on my plate today! May the Lord grant us grace to teach these things diligently to our children today!
