Honor God

‘ You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! ‘

– Psalm 22:23

Our culture tends to treat God as common. We’re too familiar with him. We refer to Him as “the Man Upstairs” or “the Big Guy,” or we say things like “Jesus is my big bro!.”

Hmmm…, Jesus is more than your big bro. He is the savior, the Righteous One who shed His blood so that we would live. 

You have to stop treating God as common or like your mate. When you’re able to see Him as He is, you’ll honor others not because you want to be good people but because His name is in your heart.  

If you’re a believer, what makes you different and valuable is the name of Jesus written on your heart. Because of what He did for you on the cross, the only reasonable response is to do something with your life that honors Him. 

May we not be a generation that gives God only lip service. Instead, we’ll show Him honor from our hearts. It’s because of what He did that we are who we are. 

You should value others and show them honor, and help them see that they were valuable enough for Jesus to give His life. 

When you place your selfish egos, love for comfort, and the feeling of entitlement on the altar of honor, you become aware of the value that God places on each and every life, including yours.

Praise God today, Honor God with your life, honor the people around you, and let the name of the Lord be treated with utmost respect and honor.

LET US PRAY:

Dear Heavenly Father, I yield my heart, my love, and my joy to you. I offer my everything to you. Help me to honor you in all things and at all times.

Help me to love and honor others too, friends, colleagues, relatives, and siblings. 

Help me to honor people in authority, and leaders, especially, my Parents and my church leaders.

In Jesus’ Name, I Pray. Amen.
