Either way we hope that the footnote¹ blog will comfort you through God's word and give you a better understanding of His will.
Child
Children Obey Your Parents
Wednesday, August 09, 2017
“Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord” (Colossians 3.20, ESV)
____________
There are two important points here.
First, as children we are to obey our parents in everything. Obviously, obedience in everything would not include sinful things, but things right in God’s sight. To obey our parents includes being respectful to them, honoring them, completing all the tasks they give us to do, etc. The way we treat our parents is an indicator of the way we will treat God.
Second, as children we are to obey our parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. We make our heavenly Father very happy when we choose to obey our parents. In fact, when we obey them, we obey God. The two go hand in hand.
Are you a child? Then this verse is for you!
