Is It Important to Honor Your Parents?

Is It Important to Honor Your Parents?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for children, so they will honor their parents. In Jesus’s name, amen.

The notes in the English Standard Version of the Bible under Proverbs 22-25 tell us: “Saying Sixteen. Acquiring wisdom is a duty in that it is the best way one can fulfill the command to honor one’s parents.”

Proverbs 23:22-25 (ESV) deals with the dynamic relationship between parents and their children.

“Listen to your father who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Buy truth, and do not sell it;
buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.
Let your father and mother be glad;
let her who bore you rejoice.”

Honoring parents is the fifth of the Ten Commandments. Yet, this command is ignored by many in modern society.

Take a step closer to following God’s preferred plan, and do something to honor your parents today.

The Proverbs 31 Wife!

The Proverbs 31 Wife!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for Proverbs 31 Women who consider a field, buy it, and plant a vineyard.

The Proverbs 31 Wife described in Scripture has some wonderful qualities.

In Proverbs 31:16 (ESV) we learn of some of this woman’s attributes and abilities.

“She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.”

These verses help us to understand the Proverbs 31 wife is not only wise, she is smart and hard working.

Those who aspire to have these traits, should be affirmed. These characteristics are worth cultivating.

Men with such a wise and hard working spouse should be very thankful and praise God.
