It’s Still Right To Be Polite
OCTOBER 30 & NOVEMBER 1, 2026
Daily Reading—Jeremiah 20-22 / 2 Timothy 1-2
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Timothy 5:1-2 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
One day, I pulled up to a drive-through restaurant where my wife and I occasionally enjoy ordering our meals. When I pulled ahead to pick up my order, the girl at the window said, “I knew it was you.” I asked, “How did you know?” She said, “You’re the only one who says ‘yes’ and ‘no,’ ‘ma’am,’ and ‘thank you’ anymore.”
The fact is, it seems that manners have often gone out the window today. The Bible says we are to respect older men and women and be kind-hearted to younger men and women. “Please and thank you,” “yes, sir,” “no, Sir,” and “Excuse me, please” are still recognized and appreciated. It is still right to be polite. Who knows, today you just might be recognized for it.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Will you stand out by standing up for being polite?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message.
Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading.
God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
