HONOUR FOR THE ELDERS !!

Key Verse:
“Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.” Lamentations 5:12

Message

People cannot enjoy the blessings of God where they choose to do evil, not minding the warnings from God. The peace of God is for those who fear God and love to do His will. The condition of Israel was very bad at a particular time. There were no joy and peace in the nation. Children, adults, the king and princes all suffered. The reason for this terrible and painful period is given in the final part of verse 16 of our Bible passage, “that we have sinned!” But where people realize their sins, repent and turn to God and now live a righteous life, they are expected to show godly fruits. And one of these fruits is honour or respect for the elders.

Elders are those who are older than us in age or higher in position. Our elders are our rulers, our teachers and pastors. God commands us to honour them. You are to greet them, obey them, respect them, pray for them, and encourage them by living a godly and honest life. You can prayerfully start to do that as from today in church, school and community. God will bless you as you obey His word.

Prayer for today
God, please help me to respect the elderly and those that are placed above me.
