God Calls For Respect In Everything We Do

Proverbs 22:6
“Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Perhaps we have all encountered a situation
such as I experienced a few days ago.
As I pulled into the parking lot of a super market,
I noticed an empty space across from where I had parked.
I noticed a car pause near the space, then drive on.
I walked over and sure enough, there was a shopping cart
that some thoughtless person had left in the middle
of the parking space instead of returning it

to the cart storage area a few steps away.
(I returned it clear into the store).

My mind began to reflect upon this

and other types of inconsiderate behavior
that seems to be the norm of our modern life.
Someone recently sent a u-tube video of a

wonderful rendition of our national anthem.
I was enjoying the remarkable talent
when I happened to observe the players lined up on the edge
of the playing surface.
They slouched, talked and never paid honor.
It was distressing!

What is the reason for this breakdown in respect and appropriate behavior?
I think the answer is to be found in today’s Scripture.
Parents have delegated their God given responsibility for training
their children to the church, school or just not caring enough
to take the time to train their children in the way they should go.

So what can we do?
If we have children, train them Biblical patterns of behavior.
Try as best as you can to develop godly character qualities.
If you do not have children of your own,
pray for God to show you kids that need you.
Then share from your heart the things that God shows you.



May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
