Great and Old

S - Great men are not always wise, nor do the age always understand justice. Job 32:9

O - Elihu was very upset after listening to Job's friends, and he came out with this accurate statement. He was very respectful as he waited in silence - but then chose to speak. His tone was of one who was frustrated, but there is truth in his observation.

A - I do need to remember that 'older' and 'greater' people may not have the right perspective. I also need to apply this to my life, that just because I am getting older every day, wisdom is not automatic. I am choosing to be more of a reader - learning and growing.

P - Lord, please lead me in wisdom and growth. Help me to be respectful of 'great' and 'older' people, while still being a critical thinker. Help me to love you with my mind, and see things from Your perspective.  Amen.
