Rejoice with Malooloriorview! "The joy of the LORD is your strength" (Neh 8:10). Keep trusting God's plan. "Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Ps 37:4). Let's pray together! 
Let's join in prayer! 
**Let's lift up these requests, everyone!** My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
—Proverbs 3:1-2 (KJV)
Those who are older are not as respected in Western cultures today as they once were and as "the elders" are respected in other cultures. The Bible repeatedly reminds us of our NEED to honor those who are godly and who have gone before us. Whether the father behind this passage is the physical father of the person receiving instruction or he was the teacher of this student seeking wisdom, either way the principle is the same. We have much to learn and much to gain from heeding the voice of those who have served God for many years and have proved themselves wise and faithful.
Loving God and Almighty Father, thank you for those wise people in my life that have shared your wisdom and their experience with me. Please help them know how much I appreciate their investment of love and guidance in me and please use me to do the same for those who come after me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
