1Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord,afor this is the right thing to do. 2“Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”b
I look back on my childhood and I see where I failed concerning these verses and commands.
What about you?
If we failed to obey then we also failed to honor. And if we didn't honor then we broke the first commandment!
The great thing about being born again is you start over, and when you get baptized the coming out of of water symbolizes a new person being raised from the dead.
Start over with your parents like I did and honor them.
If your a child and reading this, obey your mother and father, and honor them. You never know when God will call them home.
If you're an adult and your parents are still alive, make up for your failings and lost time, let them know you love them.
For those of you that never knew your parents or they weren't nice people remember you have a Father in Heaven, He loved you enough to send His Son to die on the cross for you. Tell Him how much you love Him. He's waiting to hear from you!
I pray things will go well for you and that you have a long life on earth.
Blessings, David
