*There* is a saying, which goes thus, *"The young shall grow"*.

 Elders are those that are older than we are.  They can be our parents, aged grandparents, teachers in school, church leaders, community leaders and government officials.


The elders are usually more mature, sensible and experienced than we are.
We should respect them especially if they are our leaders in the church.


 If we do so, they will pray for us, give us advice, teach us and guide us in the right way.


Why do some children not respect elders?
It can be because of pride, lack of home training or ignorance.


As a child of God, you have the new nature and you show it by respecting your elders.
If you are not born-again and you don't respect elders, repent today and give your life to Christ.


 There are blessings attached to every act of obedience.

  1 Timothy 5:17
