​HONOR THE PRESENCE OF THE ELDERLY!

Health, beauty, fitness, youthfulness—qualities that are sought after today.  Our emphasis on these qualities seems to have lead our society to diminish the value of our older generation, who see these qualities fading.  Yet, last Sunday at Delphi First Assembly we were able to bring focus, emphasizing the tremendous value of the “older” generation.  They have “been through the fire” …and are still standing!  They have so much to teach us!  Leviticus 19:32 says, “You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God:  I am the Lord.”  And the Apostle Peter admonishes, “Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders… be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble" 1 Peter 5:5.  As you can see, the Scripture ties the fear of the Lord and humility to honoring, submitting to, and showing respect to the older generation.  Twenty seven people, from age 70-96 years old sat in front of us as we called forward our young adults to love on them and pray for them.  About a dozen of them had wise words to say to us.  Such a special moment!  May you be encouraged to be a blessing to an aging parent, grandparent, neighbor, or even one you are passing by today…and not just today, but every day!
