When the [uncompromisingly] righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh. (Proverbs 29:2 AMP)
To me this speaks volumes. Obviously a good king makes for happy people, but I believe this can also be applied to parenting.
When parents are uncompromisingly righteous, their children rejoice. Nuff said. As a king rules over a kingdom, so parents rule over their children. We need to grab hold of this promise, that as we learn to live a righteous life, with the help of the Holy Spirit (John 15:27), we are promised good things. Such as: happy children.
