Good morning beloved, happy Tuesday,
“…But now the Lord says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.’”
(1 Samuel 2:30).
Our goal should be to honor God with our words and actions each day of our lives. God sent an unnamed man of God to deliver the Lord’s message to Eli. Later, God spoke to Samuel to confirm the message to Eli. Eli failed to control his sons. Their sins were grievous in the sight of the Lord.
Honoring God is essential to living a victorious life. But what does it mean to honor God? It means to put the Lord first in all things; to do God’s will fully; to do what is right in God’s eyes; to please Him, and serve Him. Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase.”
God promises that He will honor those who honor Him. He gives us good success, prosperity, and blessing. Proverbs 3:10 shows how God honors those who honor Him, “So your barns will filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.”
In John 12:26, Jesus tells us, ‘If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.’”
May we honor God today, pointing people to Jesus and bringing glory to His name. Have a blessed day in every way. Stay safe and healthy.
Honor the Savior in every endeavor,
Dean
