Monday showers of blessings come from Colossians 3:20 "Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the LORD."
Paul continues to give specific instruction to Christians on how they should conduct themselves. Previously he spoke of husbands and wives. Now he is on children. He gives instruction for them to obey their parents following a command on Exodus 20:12 “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your GOD gives you."Obedience is good for children because it has a reward if they follow it. It pleases GOD and it Glorifies GOD. Take note, what Paul is writing is within the context of Christian living, meaning if you have ungodly parents and they want you to do ungodly things, you have the right to say no in a respectful manner. You can not steal or kill because its your parents saying do it. You politely and respectfully say no but not in an arrogant way condemning them. May the LORD enable us to obey. We are all children although we are parents too. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
Rev and Family
