______ a convention in mid February

This biblical and modern word has almost identical meanings from then to today. Perhaps this is because we haven’t changed that much in our emotional structure since the biblical era. What we mean here is deeper than how it sounds.

Do you notice, much to the dismay of all ethical people, how respect and wealth are so connected nowadays? Can one be poor and still be honored? Can a poor person be glorified in society and receive honor from others? If your answer to these hypothetical questions is ‘yes’, perhaps you could add the word ‘hardly’ to your ‘yes’ to be entirely realistic and not just idealistic.

If you think, though, that the honor and wealth connection is only typical of our era, then think again. Sadly, it was just the same in the biblical era.

Although most of the references of ‘ka•vod’ (from the root and verb ka•bed or ‘ka•ved’) in the Bible are in relation to God, the root of this word means ‘rich’ or ‘heavy’ (in property and goods).

The great patriarch Abraham was very rich:

“And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold’”

Furthermore, the fact that two very rich people cannot live in peace with one another is also not new either. Here’s the verse describing the relations between two biblical ‘barons’:

“And the land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were great, so that they could not live together”

Even the commandment ‘Honor your father and your mother’ uses the same root ‘ka•bed’ for ‘respect’ or ‘honor.’

There is also a case of “dishonor’ as a proper name in the Bible. This is ‘Ichabod,’ whose name was chosen as such because ‘The glory has departed from Israel’; He was the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord’s priest in Shiloh (I Samuel 4:21, 14:3).

How is it possible that despite our great and persistent teachings that glorify high ethical values and altruistic virtues, our ‘ka•vod’ inherently still goes first to the ‘ka•ved’?

How dependable are we? Do those around us believe that we are a people of our words or do we make empty promises? The bible encourages us to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry but most times we end up doing the opposite. We say words and make promises that we either struggle to keep or all together abandon them.

In Judges Chapter 11 Jephthah made a promise that if the LORD gave him victory against the Ammonites he would sacrifice whatever came out of his door as a burnt offering. Now the LORD gave him victory and when he went home his only child came out to meet him. Jephthah out rightly cried out in misery and wretchedness because he had to sacrifice his only child as a burnt offering but because he had made a vow to the LORD he had to keep to it.

This is a good example of how keen we should be with the promises we make. Dependability is following through your word and commitment no matter how tough it is however, to avoid disappointing others think through what you say. This means that people can count on you and the best part is you too can count on yourself. Therefore be a person who is both dependable and reliable in all you do.

“Whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD’s and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”
Judges 11:31
