Speaking On Daddy’s Authority

I had a really interesting interaction with my kids today that reminded me of a powerful truth from Scripture. My son, Alexander, was playing outside and I needed him to come inside. I was a bit busy working in my office so I asked my daughter, Brionna, to yell out to him and ask him to come inside.

I listened as she ran to the door, opened it, and yelled out, “Alexander, come inside!”

I barely overheard my son in the distance respond back, “Why?”

Without hesitation she hollered back, “Daddy said to come inside.” Then there was silence for a bit. I wasn’t sure if my son would listen to my daughter’s command so I said to my daughter, “Is he coming?”

Gleefully she responded, “Yes! He’s listening to me.” I had to chuckle a little when my daughter said her older brother was listening to HER. He was most certainly not doing anything because SHE said to do it. No, the only reason he was obeying the command was because the command, apparently, came from me. My daughter was speaking on Daddy’s authority and that made my son take the command more seriously. This reminded me of the powerful reality that we, as children of God, are ambassadors who preach the Gospel on his authority.
