Honor Your Parents

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Exodus 20:12

As you journey through this life; know that the choices you make carry not only an impact upon your very being but also the people who joined together in your blessed creation… Your focus in life should be pleasing God and today we are reminded of a commandment given by God to Moses which deals directly with how we are to not only treat but also represent our parents… Understand today that there is always someone who is watching you, taking notice of every move that you make and every action you engage in; the message today is that you must make choices that will not only better you, but make choices that will place you and the family which you are a pat of in a good light… In bringing honor to our parents I am reminded of the 3^rd chapter in the gospel of Matthew which speaks of Jesus being baptized, it is in that chapter that you will find these words recorded; “As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” God says that He is pleased in His son; this is one of the best honors which we can obtain is to please the Lord and we know that what pleased God was not only that Jesus was His son, but more importantly that He was accepting the divine will and plan that His father had for His life… Jesus sought of honor his father, it's time that we do likewise...

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
