🖊️ AG Evangel Daily Meal 23 July COMMENTARY
All over the world, we are yearly reminded by the calendar to celebrate our parents. On special days, millions of people use the season to honour, appreciate and demonstrate their love to their parents with special cards, gifts, family dinners, etc. All these are laudable. However, such gestures should not be restricted to yearly events but should take place on a regular basis. In addition, honour should not only be reserved for fathers and mothers; it should be given to everyone to whom it is due (Romans 13:7).
Honour is synonymous with reverence, esteem, value, homage and exaltation. Thus, giving honour to people implies treating them respectfully because we value them. We do it with an attitude of humility, which is borne out of a proper perspective of who God is, who we are, and who others are in relation to us and God. Hence, the Bible instructs us to “esteem others better than” ourselves (Phil 2:3).
As in today’s text, the biblical principle of honour has generational and covenant implications. Its fruits are inestimable blessings when properly observed but terrible consequences when despised. It is a principle that affects all. Whatever point we are in life today is a function of how we have applied this principle at home, in the church, in the workplace, on ourselves and everywhere else. May we ensure that our relationship is characterized by honour, integrity, loyalty, justice, and fair play!
