Honor your father and your mother
Exodus 20:12
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may lengthen in the land that the LORD your God is giving you."
"That was a simple command from God, written with his own hand, and delivered by Moses to them; it was of a moral nature, and an eternal obligation: and in order to be understood better, it does not refer only to that high esteem in which children carry their parents in their hearts, and to respectful language, appropriate gestures used towards them, as well as the joyful obedience that will be given to them; but it also refers to honoring them with their substance, feeding them, dressing them and supplying them with what is necessary for life, when they are in need; which is for all the service, for all the care, expense and problems that have been presented to them, as well as having raised them in this world "
Honoring parents involves high esteem, reverence and help. It means being there to look after them, take care of them. Compared to the other commandments, where no specific promise is directly attached, God, in giving this commandment also added a certain promise. He said: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may lengthen in the land that the Lord your God gives you."
That's the secret to living long on earth
