Parents are entrusted with an awesome responsibility. The idea of raising a child, or instructing a young boy or girl in the best way to live, is incredible. Every mother and father questions the decisions that make hundreds of times in their lives. The ongoing prayer of most men and women is that they have made good choices for their children.
Their consolation comes from their children's happiness and prosperity.
When the Bible says that children should honor their parents, it is saying that children should live in such a way that no dishonor should ever befall their mothers and fathers.
This is true of our relationship with our heavenly Father, also. God wants for us only the best. He has given instruction, not to show His power or might, but to help us live the best life we possibly can. He only wants our peace and happiness. In turn, we should live in such a way that He is honored. Our actions should reflect the quality of our upbringing. We should live as a proof of how much we love God.
