Honored By God

ClICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BLOG

God chose you, and we keep praying that God will make you worthy of being his people. We pray for God's power to help you do all the good things that you hope to do and that your faith makes you want to do.  Then, because God and our Lord Jesus Christ are so kind, you will bring honor to the name of our Lord Jesus, and he will bring honor to you.

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

The Bible says that when you bring honor to God, He will bring honor to you.  There are of course at least two ways to honor God.  The first is what you say to others about Him.  When you tell people about how wonderful, majestic and great God is, you certainly bring honor to Him!  One other way to honor God is to be obedient to Him.  When you do what God tells you to do, those who know that the reason for the life you live is to please God, will also honor Him!

But when you honor God, He will honor you! How does God honor those who follow Jesus?  

God honors you by allowing you to receive the Holy Spirit in your heart!  God honors you by letting you put your hand to the plow that He is pushing through the hardened ground of humanity! God honors you with Peace that no one can understand.

Will other men know that you are honored by God?  Some will know and others will not be able to see or hear the honor God gives you.  But you will know and you will bless His Holy Name!  

When you are honored by God it is not like being honored by men.  Men will honor you with praise and maybe a trophy.  God will honor you by allowing you to walk with Jesus and work with Him by the Power of the Holy Spirit living in your heart!

"Lord Jesus, I seek to honor You because You deserve all praise and glory, and I am honored to serve and praise You now and forever.  Amen."
