Umbrellas of Protection God delegates responsibility to those in various jurisdictions, so He also gives them the responsibility to be an umbrella of protection for those under their care.

Matthew 8:8-10 - The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”  10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

Stay under your Umbrella! The rewards of children staying under the protection of their parents are described in the fifth commandment and reaffirmed in Ephesians 6:2–3. “Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” There are also serious consequences for any son or daughter who gets out from under this protection. “The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it” (Proverbs 30:17).
