Subject: How do you "honor" lying parents? |
Bible Note: This could turn into she said you said. Let me make a suggestion. The next time the church, your family and you are all together, why don't you go up to your mother in law and say I don't recall ever saying those things, but since your sure I did I want to apologize to you right here and now and let us restore the relationship. Then bite your tongue and apologize making a promise that you will do everything possible never to show her or your father in law any disrespect. That will force her to either end her tirade about you or make herself look foolish. Sure it will be humbling, sure it is unjust, sure your right and she is wrong. But once again think of David and King Saul. David was absolutely right Saul was seeking unjustly to kill him but David gave him honor and God saw that David’s action did not go unnoticed. David was vindicated by the hand of God! As you will be if you humble yourself to make peace, because God has promised to lift up those that humble themselves in His sight. I pray you find peace and happiness, with just a year of marriage you many obstacles to get past, God will be with you if you seek Him. Make peace! EdB |
