Disobedient and disrespectful children really get me heated. There is nothing more disturbing than watching a child disrespect an adult, especially their own parents, but in today’s society that seems to be the “in” thing. Not in my house.! I was raised by my grandparents where saying words like lie, fart, butt or fool would warrant a whooping. I gasp to hear the things that come out of children nowadays. Yahweh even listed respecting and honoring your parents as one of the top 10. And, it is the 1st commandment with a promise. Honor your father and mother that your days may be lengthened on this earth. So, if it made the top 10 then it has to be important. Now, let me break this down for you. We are children of the Creator, right? And, as children He has given us specific rules and guidelines that we must follow, yet we continue to be disobedient and rebellious. If we want the best for our children and try to shield them from harm and hurtful experiences, why wouldn’t our Heavenly Father do the same for us? When our children are disobedient we often put them on punishment and pray that they have learned a lesson from their bad choices. Well, the same is true with Yahweh. When we have sinned we will pay the consequences, but it is His grace that allows us to learn from the experience and do better. So, the next time things aren’t going as we plan or as we want, remember that we have a Father that loves and corrects us; and in our obedience to Him we shall receive His best for our lives.
