Devotional Reflection
So frequently today, we reject the knowledge of those who have come before us and who desire to impart to us the collective wisdom that was handed down to them by their ancestors. Let's be extra careful during the next several weeks to honor those who are older and have shown themselves faithful. At the same time, let's tell our children and our grandchildren how essential obedience is to God, especially the obedience of children to their parents.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I'm sorry that I haven't always listened to what my parents said or done what they told me to do. I'm grateful that they love me and want to show me the way to You. Please give them Your grace and bless me as I try to follow Your will more closely. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
