OBEY
Colossians 3:20
Children, obey your parents in all things: For this is well-pleasing unto the LORD!
Today's verse may seem to directed at children and parents - but it's much more than that - it's a command - we often forget this when we have disagreements with our parents - let's face it - they are human as much as we are - when you reach a time in your life when both of your earthly parents have left this world - it is hard to understand that we won't have an oppuntity again this side of heaven to obey our parents - but we can obey them even in their absence - since it's a command of God to obey our parents we are to live lives that please them - the best way we can do this is live in such a way that pleases our Heavenly Father - that should be our chief goal in all we do - if your parents are still with you in the here and now - well today you can obey them even if you have not for years - today you can reconnect with them - not communicating with your parents is not a good thing - maybe there is a wedge there between you today - if so - bring it GOD right here and now - let the sun not set again until you have patched things up - it's that important - what those of you who say your parents did a terrible job in raising you - or if you believe they don't deserve you obedience because they were not there for you - the WORD offers no such exception to get out of obey them - The Word does not say obey them when they are worthy of it - or if they have earned it - it just says do it! We must obey - now there are cases when a parent is abusing their child - that child does not have to obey in such a way that harm comes to himself - remember that abuse is not right and it's not supported by GOD! We are to obey our parents - right now - there are no options!
God is our Father - we are to obey HIM above everyone else!
Are you living a life of obedience to GOD and to your parents?
Word to the wise: Obey your parents - For one day you may
have children that must obey you!
