What happened the last time you honored your parent(s)/guardian(s)?

Let’s be honest; this is something most students struggle with. Many times, parents ask their kids to do things they just don’t understand or want to do. Disobedience ensues. But Scripture, in multiple places, tells us to honor our parent(s)/guardian(s) (Exodus 20:12; Proverbs 1:8; 6:20; 23:22).

As you get older, your parent(s)/guardian(s) will have rules about whom you date, how you date, and when you date. The question is, “Will you honor them in this?” Will there be things you disagree with? Yes. Does Scripture still apply? Absolutely!

Maybe you are currently dating someone your parent(s)/guardian(s) have problems with for whatever reason. Will you listen to the Lord or give in to your own desires? In all we do, we should honor our parent(s)/guardian(s).
