Consider how God wants us to regard the elderly. We must honor them by showing them respect (Leviticus 19:32). This is a commandment not an option. Failing to respect the elderly is failing to respect God; it forbears the divine, not the culture nor the tradition. So remember it and teach it to your children. We must also support them - financial and material assistance offered according to practical, Biblical guidelines (1 Timothy 5:1-6). Failing to do so means we have '...denied the faith'(v8). Supporting them also requires that we regularly talk to God about them and their needs. Have you been supporting the aged and including them as a vital part of your family?
Day 190 - Enjoy God! Read Psalm 148; Proverbs 7:4-6; Revelation 9; 2 Samuel 21-22 2 Samuel 22 v30 - By God, I can run against a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall v33 - God is my strength and power! He makes my way perfect! Reading the above verses warmed my heart as I recalled the sweet victory I had as I trusted God when He assured me exactly with the above verses way back in 1994 when I did my Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP). It was the first day of exam and my Quiet Time for that day turned out to be reading the above verses. What a joy! What an assurance! I knew by God and with God, I could leap over CLP examination and would cross over the challenge and would pass to do my chambering. True enough, I passed and started my chambering in 1995. All glory to God! Hence, how important for us to keep reading God's Words as our loving Heavenly Father is so eager to speak and communicate with us. Please do run to Him, embrace and enjoy the sweet communion and taste...
