Leviticus 19:32: “Stand up in the presence of the elderly, and show respect for the aged. Fear your God. I am the LORD…” 1 Peter 5:5: “Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Timothy 5:1-3: “Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters. Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her.”
We need to respect those who are older than us who possess wisdom. Listen to Dr. Beaty. He knows what he is doing. To God be the glory!
Yes Dr. Luis C. Almeida the Elderly do indeed have life wisdom and if asked for they can have God’s Wisdom too, which we are all to ask for as none of us were Born with it so we all lack it and when we have asked and received God’s Wisdom we believe we have received it and we do not doubt we have and so keep asking for it, instead we Thank God for His gifts of Love to us with heartfelt gratitude.
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the Principal thing therefore get Wisdom and with all thy getting get Understanding.
James 1:5-7 If any of you lack Wisdom let him ask of God, that giveth to all Men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him. But let him ask in Faith nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that Man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded Man is unstable in all his ways.
Please do not feel you have to stand up when I enter the room Dr. Luis C. Almeida a nod of reverence will do. Lol
