"My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck." (Proverbs 1:8-9 NKJV)
"My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck." (Proverbs 6:20-21 NKJV)
"The wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death." (Proverbs 10:1-2 NKJV)
"He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach." (Proverbs 19:26 NKJV)
"Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old. Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding. The father of the right- eous will greatly rejoice, And he who begets a wise child will delight in him. Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her who bore you rejoice." (Proverbs 23:22-25 NKJV)
The book of Proverbs has a lot to say about being a parent. It teaches us that the primary duty of Mothers and Fathers is to teach and instruct our children. In their youth our children will readily listen and usually obey our instructions. As they grow they make their own choices. It is with prayer that every mother hopes that her children continue to follow the path of God.
As children we honor our mother by listening to her Godly wisdom. We can bring her no honor at all if we turn away from her most precious desires that we follow the path of God and seek His ways.
