My dad recently said to me that I don't honor him. This made me wonder and ask myself, “What is honor?” “What does it mean to honor?”. It is also written that we are to “honor the Lord”. In Hebrew, “honor” is the word “כָּבַד / kavad” which means “to carry weight, to weigh in”. This denotes value and a place of priority.
As parents we should be people who are worthy of this honor. We should be respectable, God fearing parents that reflect God and His Words. If we are not doing this, there is no reason for our words to carry weight in our child’s life, especially once they are grown.
