I was happy that my father agreed to do another segment…but after reading it, I sort of felt like Shug Avery (God’s trying to tell me something lol!!!).  Anyway, I’m grateful that my dad agreed to submit another master piece to Spiritual Spa. 

Children Obey Your Parents

Even in the times that we live in, God wants us to learn his word and keep it so that we can practice it and pass it to the next generation.  Deuteronomy 5:11-21 are the Ten Commandments.  The Ten Commandments were considered the beginnings of wisdom.  These Commandments were written by God so that man could have laws that showed the difference between right and wrong.  The word was given to us so that we could hide it in our hearts, and pass it on to the next generation. 

 

Deuteronomy 6:6-8 these commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children.  Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

 

Deuteronomy 6:25 and it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God it will be a better world.

 A father and a mother cannot teach the law if they don’t have the law in there hearts and minds first.  Parents must first have the word in them so that they can direct the children on what to do.
