| Father & Mother |
| “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother” (Proverbs 30:11). |
| This is a serious statement! Stop, young person, and consider whether this applies to you! There is a special blessing promised to those who honour their parents, and we are told, “Honor thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth” (Ephesians 6:2-3). |
| Parents aren’t perfect, and they certainly make lots of mistakes, but that does not change the fact that they are in a place of God-given authority, and that they are to be honored and respected in spite of their failures and shortcomings. |
| For those of you who have godly parents the Bible gives further exhortation through the writing of King Solomon: “My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother” (Proverbs 1:8). He also wrote, “A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother” (Proverbs 10:1). |
