Proverbs chapter 23 verse 25 let your father and mother be glad Let her who bore you rejoice.

That is such a great verse, isn't it?

I think about my mom and my dad.

I want to live in a way that causes them to rejoice.

I certainly not over my desire for God to rejoice over the way I live such that if my mom

or dad were to tell me to do something that is not pleasing to God that I would

choose to live for that which pleases God far over my mom and dad.

At the same time it honors God when I live to honor my mom and dad.

This is something we see all throughout scripture.

I mean as part of the Ten Commandments,

honor your father and your mother.

Let your father and mother be glad though,

Proverbs 2325 says,

let her who bore you rejoice. think it makes sense in light of the

commandment to honor them to live in such a way that they rejoice over you because of your honor for them, love for them, and because what you do with what they entrust to you.

I just want you to think about your mom or dad for a minute and obviously there are so many different circumstances and so many people's lives

So many people don't don't know maybe their dad or mom.

And some have really strained relationships with parents.

But just think right now, how can you best honor your mom your dad

obviously under the umbrella of honoring God ultimately

but what would it look like for you to make your mom or your dad to the extent with which you can be glad and rejoice over you.
