Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (NASB)
Is your child doing his/her school work to the glory of God? Or is he/she grumbly or stubborn? Are you, homeschool mom or dad, administering your homeschool to the glory of God? Are you grumbly or stubborn? A bad attitude kept Moses out of the Promised Land. Wrong motives will bear bad fruit.
Whatever you, or your children, do needs to be done with a willing, cheerful heart. The condition of the heart is paramount to God. Believe it or not, stopping, in the moment, and praying with your child over his heart condition really works. Stopping and praying works for you too, stressed out mom ;)
*This verse is used in many different applications. The context is whether or not to eat meat that has been used in idol worship. In the classical Greek world, people generally could not afford meat. They only time they partook was when it had been first given to a god or goddess. It was then offered to the masses during that god or goddesses feast day.
