#131. Pride, Humility, and Parenting Hearts | Obadiah, Psalms 82–83 & 2 Kings 1

What do we do when pride begins taking root in our own hearts—or in the hearts of our children?In today's episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, we're beginning the second half of our Bible reading journey together as we study Obadiah, Psalms 82–83, and 2 Kings 1. Through these passages, we discover God's unwavering opposition to pride, His patience toward sinners, and His invitation for every heart to walk in humility before Him.The book of Obadiah warns the proud nation of Edom that self-reliance and arrogance always lead to destruction, while God's people are continually invited to trust Him instead of themselves. As Christian parents, these truths remind us why helping our children learn humility, repentance, and dependence on the Lord is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.We'll also explore God's heart for justice in Psalms 82 and 83 and see in 2 Kings 1 why seeking the one true God matters more than looking anywhere else for wisdom, security, or hope.If you've ever struggled with stubbornness in your children, sibling conflict, or wondered how to shepherd your kids' hearts instead of simply correcting behavior, this episode offers biblical encouragement for the journey.In this episode, we'll discuss:Why pride is so dangerous—for adults and children alikeWhat the judgment of Edom teaches us about humilityHow to shepherd your children's hearts instead of only their behaviorGod's compassion, justice, and righteous judgmentWhy true security is found in God aloneEncouragement for Christian moms raising children to love the LordPractical lessons from reading through the Bible chronologicallyToday's Bible ReadingObadiahPsalm 82Psalm 832 Kings 1Featured ThemesChristian motherhoodBiblical parentingRaising humble childrenParenting the heartPride and humilityFamily discipleshipBible study for womenReading the Bible in a yearChristian encouragement for momsGod's justice and mercyFaith and familyWhether you're just beginning your Bible reading journey or catching up after falling behind, remember that God's desire isn't simply for us to finish a reading plan—it's for us to know Him more deeply.
