Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD. — Leviticus 19:32
In an age where respect is little known and even less practiced, showing honor for those who are older is often overlooked. Yet in this place, by the LORD's own word, showing respect for the elderly ranks right up there with reverencing God. But then we shouldn't be surprised, since God made honoring parents the very first commandment (in the Ten Commandments — Exodus 20) directed at our relationship with others — the first four commandments were directed at our relationship with him!
Listening to God
Genesis 3:9
But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Thoughts
. I have handed Jesus the key to my secret hideout. - Paddy Baker
. Healing comes when we open all the rooms in our “house” to Jesus and He can work his power in our lives. - Amen.
Gifts from Above
Matthew 1:23
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
Someone to celebrate
Psalm 95:6
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
Our source of provision
Psalm 145:18
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
Thought
. Virtues are formed by prayer. Prayer preserves temperance. Prayer suppresses anger. Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy. Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Spirit, and raises humanity to heaven. - Ephrem the Syrian
