Chapter 7 Reigns of Law

 Key Ideas 

• God’s world runs on laws.
  Just like there are laws in nature (gravity, seasons, growth), there are also laws in our bodies, minds, and hearts.

• Children must learn respect for these laws.
  We don’t escape consequences — if we break health laws (bad sleep, poor habits), the body suffers. If we break moral laws, our hearts suffer.

• Habits are part of law.
  Good habits grow strong when practiced; bad habits also grow strong if allowed.

• Freedom comes with responsibility.
  True freedom isn’t doing “whatever we like” — it’s living wisely within God’s laws, which protect us.

My Takeaway

Life works best when we respect God’s laws in nature, body, and character. Teaching children about cause and effect helps them grow wise and responsible.

"The world is ordered by God’s laws. My children must learn that actions have consequences, both in health and in character. By guiding them toward good habits and respect for these laws, I help them grow into free and wise persons."
