"The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him. May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice!" (Prov 23:24-25) Is the life we are now living bringing joy to our parents? If our life is not pleasing to our earthly parents, it stands to reason we are not at all pleasing to our heavenly Father. In our formative years, perhaps we didn't know any better; but now that we know better, we should be doing better, being better, living better and loving better!
Prayer: Lord, we thank you for our parents! Help us live life in ways that bring them and you joy continuously. Amen.
Ex 20:12. . . ."Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you." NIV
