Everyone knows the importance of seeking the Kingdom of God in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." But did you know that obeying our parents is a way that we seek the Kingdom of God first. God has establish leaders and authoritative figures to help guide us on His path. Our parents are authoritative figures in our lives that we must always obey. If God did not want us to obey our parents then He would not made it one of the ten commandments, 'Honor thy father and mother.' Obeying our parents is showing respect and honor to the people that God has appointed in your life. Even if your parents are not living right now in Christ, God has still placed them in your life for a divine reason. Some might ask why should I obey my parents? It is not important, right?
WRONG!!!! When we obey our parents, we are truly obeying God,too. For example, when my parents tell me to wash the dishes then I should (and I do) obey them. Also, when we obey our parents, we should do all things in a pleasing spirit. We should not murmur or complain because murmuring and complaining are not pleasing to God. Therefore by obeying our parents we are seeking the kingdom of God first because when we obey our parents, we are obeying God. We should also heed to our parents' instruction because the instructions are valuable on how to be a successful child of the Most High God. In Proverbs 4:1 , "Hear, my children, the instruction of a father." God has given wisdom to our parents which we receive from them. By obeying them, we obey God's instruction. When we obey our parents, we seek first the kingdom of God. God bless!!
