Proverbs 28:24 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says...

“Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; The same is the companion of a destroyer.” (Proverbs 28:24 KJV)

At first read, this passage sounds over the top to casually point out that children rob their parents and say it's okay. However, yes in this degenerate world this is literally happening, as many are raised in the culture of godlessness and vices. The world, saturated with the atmosphere and messages of darkness, is made a cesspool of evil influence. Outside the home, children are brainwashed to defy God and their parents. Hence, many parents are emptied out by their corrupted children, of their resources and honor. Many children wasted themselves in all forms of unhealthy and immoral habits. They even corrupt those who are nurtured in the love of God and who happens to be in their contact and vicinity. Many indeed are made companions of destruction, as this passage exposed.

We are all children and parents, at some point in our lives. No one set foot on this planet without having been cradled in the loving embrace and the comfort of a mother's womb. That's where God formed us by His mighty hands. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made to be God's masterpiece in their bosom. As children, we are to give honor to our parents who raised us the best they can. Yes, they're not perfect. Yes, they're flawed. That's why they and we all need a Savior from our flaws, imperfections and brokenness - to some extent. We need Jesus to reign in our lives. We do that by receiving the Lordship of Christ Jesus and enter into His grace by faith,

In honoring them - our parents, we honor Him - our Creator. It is not for our parents' benefit, but ours. God pronounced His blessings to abound on us, as He charges us with these words, through Apostle Paul: “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) 

And I Say, AMEN!
