Day 15

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 scripture, 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 directed at our relationship with others. (The first four commandments were directed at our relationship with him. Let’s be distinctive in contrast to most of the world: let’s honor, respect, and care for those who are older among us! “Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:32″
