Honoring Parents: Exodus 20:12
This is the first commandment with a promise attached. To live in peace for generations in the Promised Land, the Isrealites would need to respect authority and build strong families. But how is the command to "honor" parents lived out? Speaking well of them is one way. Showing them courtesy and respect-but not at the cost of disobeying God-also is a way. Parents have a secial place in God's sight. The command to honor them is for everything-even parents. How do you honor yours?
