We find balance in Scripture. The Bible exposes us to a kaleidoscope of views on the elements of daily life. It exposes us to divine sense.
Take parenting, for example:
Proverbs 13:24
Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children,
but those who are quick to correct them show true love.
Colossians 3:21
Don’t infuriate your children, so their hearts won’t harbor resentment and become discouraged.
Our Father God parents us with sóphronizó, this divine sense — neither overbearing nor over-indulgent.
[sóphronizó, “living in divine moderation”]
Don’t infuriate children, too,
because it’s their job
to infuriate YOU.
When my kids were young, I had a little sign in the bathroom, “Lord, grant me the patience to endure my blessings.”
