Honoring Your ParentsExodus 20:12
No. 80Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.Exodus 20:12
This commandment comes with a promise. Honoring your parents doesn't mean agreeing with everything they do — it means treating them with respect and dignity. Even imperfect parents are worth honoring.
Reflect
How have you been treating your parents lately? Is there something you owe them — an apology, more respect, a thank you?
Prayer
God, help me honor my parents even when it's hard. Give me a heart that is grateful, not resentful. Amen.
