READ : Ephesians 6:1-4

“Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord” – Colossians 3:20

One of the highest blessings is that it may be well with you. However, it will never be well with you if you are disobedient to your father! The greatest blessing for sons is hidden in their obedience to their fathers. I have noticed that in large families with five or more children, the sons or daughters who are very obedient to their parents turn out more blessed than those who are rebellious, independent and resistant. It is a pattern you will discover for yourself.

One day, a father went shopping with his two sons. One of them constantly had a different opinion and always wanted something different; he didn’t like what his father liked. However, the reaction of the other son was very different. He would say, “Whatever you choose for me is okay. I like what you like for me. I want what you want for me.”

You see, these two attitudes can result in two different outcomes. It will be well with sons and daughters who trust and obey their fathers! This principle applies to all kinds of fathers, whether natural or spiritual.

Become a son who wants what his father chooses for him. Christianity is based on this principle: The principle of submitting your will to the will of your Father, the principle of accepting the Father’s will instead of your own will. Do not be self-willed. Be subject to your Father’s will. It is safer and easier to say, “Father, into thine hands do I commit my life.” Let’s follow Jesus; He is the best example for us all.
