God has blessed us with people that act like coaches for us. Coaches help us know how to react. Coaches help us know the right things to do. Coaches teach us how to be better. Coaches help us to be winners!
God has given you "coaches" in many ways. Parents act as coaches. Teachers are like coaches too. Pastors and kids club leaders are like coaches.
Coaches want the best for you. They are FOR you, and not against you. But, sometimes it's hard to obey coaches. Do it anyway! Obey! God has put others in charge to help you. Trust them!
Read Romans 13:1-5 and Exodus 20:12 and Ephesians 6:1-3.
Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command." (John 14:15)
You can show your love and respect to your leaders by choosing to obey right away.
React - means you do not delay, but get up and do what you are supposed to do right away.
Respect - means you do it with a cheerful positive attitude
Respond - means you say back, "Yes_________, I will _________________."
Sometimes it's hard. But, you can do it...with God's help...you can do it! And you'll be glad that you did.
