The first commandment with a promise, it shall prolong your days.

[StewardoftheMystery]

A lot of people seek to prolong their days on earth by exercising and eating right. But did you know God gave a command with a promise to prolong your days?

Here it is….

Ephesians 6:2
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

So what was the promise if you keep this command?

Exodus 20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be longupon the land which the Lordthy God giveth thee.

Deuteronomy 5:16
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lordthy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”

Is not that a lot easier than eating right and exercise?
