Scriptures: Ephesians 6:1-3 1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3“so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” (NIV)
Nugget: It seems like most kids now-a-days have totally disregarded the respect for their parents! Just looking at the news tells numerous stories of incidences that have occurred to parents because of things their children have done. It’s really sad.
These scriptures state the importance of honoring parents: it’s the first commandment with a promise! How quickly we overlook this commandment in the midst of everything else. These scriptures also state that in honoring parents, “it may go well with you & you may enjoy life on earth.” There’s a lot connected with this commandment! Following it is connected with life on earth & the peace that could come with this life!
Quote: “If you want all to be well with you, you need to show honor and respect to your parents. Not just with your words, but with your actions.” -Joel Osteen
