“Who sows virtue reaps honor.” -Leonardo da
Vinci
In my youth, my mom first asked me for something in a sweet tone:
“Christian, please take the trash out”—and then 30 minutes later with an abrupt
tone: “take the trash out now!” I
learned that to obey dishonorably was as good as disobeying (my dad wore a belt
to prove it!). When our Heavenly Father
asks His children to obey, sometimes people obey begrudgingly. They do the right thing with the wrong
attitude. No matter what God asks
of us, let’s choose to be children who obey and honor God in everything. Amen?
Children, obey
your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment
with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the
earth (Ephesians 6:1-3, KJV).
