Deuteronomy 5: 16, 33, 29
Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
O that their hearts would be inclined to fear Me and keep My commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
This is the only commandment of the ten that has a promise attached to it. It's also the only command God gives to children. If a person learns as a child to always honor and obey the parents God gave them to, then as they grow older they will also be able to obey the others God gives authority over them; grandparents, teachers, policemen, etc. Then they will not be as likely to get into trouble, and their life will go more smoothly.
And they will also be able to obey God's rules, that puts order into the Universe and our societies and our own lives.
When children grow up with no respect for their parents, then they also will not respect other authorities, either.
And may end up in prison.
O my Father, I pray for my adult children who do not know You yet. Please show Yourself to them, draw them to Yourself, and teach them Your ways. They all grew up in a good Church, but two of the three have left Your beautiful Truth!
Please remove the demon of "cut-off" from my children, that has plagued my family for at least several generations.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
