To Live A Longer Life We Must Have Honor

“Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother–this is the first commandment with a promise–[Exod. 20:12.] That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.” Here’s another step towards having a longer life. To honor your father and mother can be difficult for some. If you’ve grown up in a family that has no honor about or in anything, honoring anyone is a problem. You’ve learned how to be dishonorable as a lifestyle growing up. Maybe your parents were not honorable people. But all of our negative background, bad environment, and up bringing in general can be remoulded into an honorable life with the Lord’s help. The teachings and precepts of God won’t change because you’re too lazy to work the word of God in your life. There is always a way of escaping all life’s struggles by living the life God intended for us to live. But it takes some work on our part. The constant warring between our flesh and our spirit will not be over until death. It is vital to learn how to fight using the words of the bible. Therein lies the power to resist temptations and to gain the strength to go forward in victory over being hurt. We must honor our father and mother to have a long life on the earth.
