A Ten Commandment Countdown To 2023 - Honoring Our Fathers and Mothers - Command (Instruction) #512/29/2022 Good Morning Thirsty For The Word Thursday...
FATHER, YOUR COMMANDMENTS are a Lamp to our feet. Help us to live aware, to choose wisely, to stay close to You, and anchored in Your Truth! Thank You for YOUR GREAT LOVE AND MERCY. Thank You that You wait for us and You strengthen us. We come to You today, choosing to walk in YOUR PRESENCE AND LIGHT. In YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST’s Name we pray. AMEN! - A Ten Commandment Countdown To 2023 - Honoring Our Fathers and Mothers - Command/Instruction #5 “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days can be long on the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, so that it will be good for you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you.” Deuteronomy 5:16 “Each of you must revere your mother and your father, and you must keep My Sabbaths; I Am Yahweh Your God.” Leviticus 19:3 “He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and your mother, and Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 19:18-19 Instruction: The way we treat, speak about, and talk to our parents can often be a revealing measure of our attitude towards Our Father in Heaven. Some may use the argument: "well, God Is Perfect and my parents are not." Because God Our Father, Yahweh, has commanded us to honor our father and mother, regardless of their worthiness, this indeed becomes a measure of how we are responding to God's Command, and in turn our honor of Him, Our Heavenly Father. Let us take a moment to contemplate how we could honor our parents this week. May we let this command teach us to honor God because He Is Our Father (Mal 1:6). The Giving of Thanks: For parents, the fact that God doesn't make the honor we are to receive based on performance... we should be thankful! For children who have parents that seem difficult to Love and honor, you can be thankful for the promise attached to this commandment. It is to help motivate and give us strength (Eph 6:2). Those who are fortunate enough to have parents whom are easy to Love and honor, be thankful to God, Our Father In Heaven, for this gift, godly parents, and wonderful examples. Confession: Let us confess to Our Father in Heaven any ill feelings, anger, resent, and the such, that may be hiding in our hearts toward our parents. Tell God any ways that we may have failed to honor our parents. Ask God to cleanse your mind and heart from these negative things and give us a heart and mind that will be able to honor them, because when we do... we Honor Our Father In Heaven, The Creator of All Things, and show our deep appreciation for His Mercy towards us. Prayer: Dear Father, we come to You today with humble and contrite hearts and ask that You give us the ability, and desire, to honor our parents, because we know in turn, it honors You. We thank You for the parents You have given us, for we know You give us our parents to teach us specific lessons about Life. We know we are not perfect and You have forgiven us for so much. We ask You now to help us remember this and offer the mercy You have given us to our parents when they may fall short. We thank You Father for the gift of our parents, for giving them to us, and for giving us to them. Help us to honor them as You see fit, not as we do, and help us to realize how You want us to honor them. Father, please help us to be the kind of follower that Your Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is leading us to be. Help us to live up to that calling and honor our parents as You see it due. And Father, we ask this not only because You Are Righteous, Just, and we know Your Commands Are Life, but also so that our children will find it easy to honor us as their parents. We Love You, We Thank You, We Praise You, and we ask all these things in The Mighty Name of Your Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen.
