"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 8 December 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's is Number 5 in God's Ten Commandments
Commandment Number 5: Exodus 20:12: "Honor you father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord Your God is giving you."
Honor your father and mother means, "to treat with significance," "to treat with respect." Care of ones elderly parents was a basic element of social responsibility. Here it is tied directly to how a person would fare in the land. People who are faithless to God in disregarding their parents, would not last long in the New promised Land.
Parents are God's instruments in a child's life, to meet his or her physical needs, and introduce the child to God's ways. The spiritual priority of parents is seen in many of Israel's religious ceremonies, such as the Passover Meal, which was conducted within the Family.
Deuteronomy 6 and 11, fix responsibility for naturing in the home. It's significant that in the predominantly "male" Old Testament World "mother" is given equal status, and even listed first in Leviticus 19:3.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
