Colossians 3:18-4:1

18 "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favortism.
4:1 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven."

I think one of the main thoughts of this passage of scripture is to be real. If you say you have Christ in you, then let it overflow into all areas of your life - marriage, parenting, being an employee or the employer. Dedicate all areas of your life to the Lord (v 23) to bring glory to Him. When He becomes #1 in our lives, everything works out. That's not to say that there are no potholes in the road. I wasn't born yesterday and I've fought battles in all those areas of my life. But I believe that as I sought to glorify God, my marriage became more peaceful, my parenting became more peaceful, and my work became more peaceful. Called to peace, remember yesterday's scripture?

Thank you, God, that you are preparing an inheritance for your children. And that you show no favortism. Help me, Lord, to be sincere and glorify You in all I do.
