Good morning family, Happy Friday. Praise God for another day to seek his grace. God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to thank God, for his mercies endure forever. Let’s sing, Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me, Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me. Break me, melt me, mold me, fill me. Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me. Today’s verse is from 1 Timothy 5:1-2. Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. There was a time when respect for older members of society was not only taught but also expected. While it isn't obsolete, it has become a rarity. Becoming a follower of Christ increases family and social responsibility. Believers have a God-given responsibility to provide for their children's needs while also making sure that elderly members of a family are properly cared for as they face the challenges of aging. What is your attitude toward older members? How can you help meet their physical needs? If you're part of an older generation, look for younger men and women with teachable attitudes who can benefit from your experience and wisdom. That's how you put your "religion into practice.” God loves you. Have a blessed day.
