Little Rebels, Big Rebels

On Friday I wrote "What's up with that?" Last night I was counting how many Bibles we have in the house. Let me tell you, we have LOTS. Anyway, I found one called the Mom's Devotional Bible. I flipped through it to see what kind of devotionals there were. Well, I flipped to Judges 9. I read the devotional called Little Rebels, Big Rebels and discovered that it said the same thing I did the other night. The reference was Judges 9:25-56, the story of rebellion against Abimelech who also rebelled against God. Part of the devotional said "What we must teach our children aabout our authority, God must teach us about his." Does instruction always have to hurt?
