To revere someone or something means to hold them with great respect. Sometimes reverence can go too far.
I have respect for the dedication and commitment of great athletes. Soon we will see some of the world’s best athletes on display in The Olympics. I know a former Olympian swimmer. I have experienced firsthand how hard he worked to achieve gold in his race.
For some reason, people revere politicians. This baffles me. I suppose I find it puzzling because I have never seen much effectiveness emerge from Washington. From my observations, politicians create more problems. Yet, they want to convince the public that “only they can fix them.” This is not true, but the masses keep buying their bs.
Our greatest reverence should be held for God alone. Without His goodness and mercy, nothing else would matter…
