As we are the called-out people so we should walk wisely in order to glorify our God through our lives. The Lord wants us to take care of elderly people and God blesses those who obey him.
When people grow old at that time they need the help of others so we should extend our help hands. Sometimes some elderly people live alone and some have no children at that time we must step forward to be on their side.
This may be a small work before others but God looks at every act and he will reward us at the right time. We should also encourage young people for taking care of their elderly parents.
Let us look at the following Bible verses to have more understanding of the importance of taking care of our elderly parents.
