HONOUR YOUR PARENTS

The LORD wants us to gain wisdom, that the Bible contains in its pages. The LORD desires to impart to the children, and to the young people, principles, values and ethics for a sound and sensible life. Many a person who has walked the path of LORD, would agree to the wisdom, that is contained in the Word of God. 

The wiseman, that King Solomon is, advises all, especially the children and the young – “8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; 9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck.” – Proverbs 1:8-9. Very important and wise words. Mind you, parents are not our choice…I would say, the LORD Himself chooses our family. Therefore, it is all the more important.

O young-man and young-woman, please do not neglect the words of your parents, and the elders around you. Their words are filled with love, care, concern and wisdom. Make all the effort to understand them. Try to see their point of view. Look for the wisdom and the blessing in their words. Such an exercise will not go futile. It will only bless you. 

May the LORD help us to honour our parents by listening to their words – “12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.” – Exodus 20:12
