Fathers do not exasperate your children instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4 NIV
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Mothers have such an inside road with children that it is interesting that God commands fathers to be about the work of spiritual nurture. I don't believe he means to exclude mothers. No I think he assumes they'll do their part. But the father's influence and intentional training is so essential.
MY PRAYER...
Abba Father may my children come to find you in me. Through Jesus I pray. Amen

So, what does this actually mean..do not exasperate your children? A child's view of God himself comes from our view of our father. God shows us His love no matter what, forgives us for all the wrong or stupid stuff we get ourselves into, His word encourages us to do our best, be our best, put Him first. This is what a dad is to do as well, right? Our self esteem comes, in my opinion directly from how our parents treat us as children.
your right mom. Exasperate means to provoke or irritate right so I think this is talking about not over doing it with your kids. They can only take so much before they will get frustrated and go the other way. Our selfesteem and most of who we become is a result of our parents and how we are raised.
