Title: Submit to Your Parents
To obey your parents is an abbreviation to obey and obey.
God blesses those who obey their parents.
1. Obedience (It is right to obey in the Lord.)
It is said that it is more right for children to obey their parents than anything else in the world.
① Obedience starts with acknowledging the authority of parents.
A generation has already changed and the new era belongs to the new people, so there are many cases in which older people do not know well.
However, obedience begins with acknowledging the wisdom that comes from age and experience and acknowledging the authority of the parents.
We must admit that he is our parent. We must not forget to kneel in front of our parents.
② Obedience is listening to your parents.
You have to have the mindset to know what your parents want and follow them.
Therefore, it is important for wise children to know what their parents want.
Listening to the Word itself is an attitude of wanting to read His heart.
③ Obedience means always making an effort to say yes.
Parents' opinions are not always right and not necessarily right.
But obedient children are those who try to take their parents' opinions positively even in such cases.
2. Respect (Honoring your parents well is the same as receiving God's promises.)
① Respect starts with acknowledging the hard work of parents.
The kindness of parents who gave birth to and raised their children and made them what they are today is something that is difficult to express in words or words.
It is the grace of our parents that makes it difficult to think, express, and speak with our small heads, dull hands, and short tongues.
② Respect means understanding your parents.
Respect always starts with understanding my parents.
3. You must realize that the most precious people in the world are your parents.
Parents are the ones who cannot come back once they go. Opportunities to serve are not always available.
There are many people who are engrossed in their work and regret countless times after their parents have suddenly left.
Therefore, you should please your parents when given the opportunity.
Jesus also showed obedience to and respect for his parents (Luke 2:51), and the Lord, who was waiting for death while suffering on the cross, was concerned about his mother and entrusted it to his disciples.
The image of Jesus who cared for his mother even as he died in pain is the life of serving and honoring his parents.
Dear saints!
I pray in the name of the Lord that today's words will be deeply engraved in your heart, and that you will always obey and honor your parents and enjoy the blessings of prosperous and long life on earth.
Those who truly fear God are those who know how to honor their parents and elders.
