Honor
The
Lord
Scripture
Psalm
29
1 Honor
the Lord, you heavenly beings;
honor the Lord for his glory and strength.
honor the Lord for his glory and strength.
Observation
There
are so many choices in life!
Some
of the choices we are offered in life are clearly wrong and we are
warned over and over again in the Bible not to make them; for example
the 10 commandments!
Other
choices we face might not be as clear as the Big Ten and so for all
of those other choices let me suggest a way for us to know if it is
the right choice or not.
Are
you ready?
Here
it is: Is what I am doing or what I am getting ready to do going to
bring honor to the Lord?
Will
this bring Him glory and honor?
Will
it make Him Smile?
Exodus
20:12
“Honor your
father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land
the Lord your
God is giving you.
Psalm
46:10
“Be
still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every
nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
Psalm
86:11
Teach
me your ways, O Lord,
that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so
that I may honor you.
Proverbs
3:9
Honor the Lord with
your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.
Daniel
5:23b
… But
you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life
and controls your destiny!
Application
I
will honor God by the choices that I make today. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, honor and glory are the two things that You desire from my
life. Help me to live out today in a way that brings You both of
those things. Keep me away from stupid sins that mess up my
relationship with You and that will mess up my relationship with
those around me. I want to make You smile. Help me to please You
today.
I
ask the same thing for any person that may be reading this blog
today. Lord, help them to make choices that bring You honor and
glory. Keep us from making choices that grieve Your Holy Spirit.
