GOD DESERVES OUR HONOR.

SONG

Jesus must be honored

Must be honored

Must honored

My Savior must be honored in my life everyday.

TEXT

"Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed." (First Samuel chapter 2 verse 30)

    There is an important question every believer should ask himself or herself. The question is, do I make the honor of God a very important aspect  of my life and as the rule of my conduct?

  From our today's reading, we see that God is ready to honor them that honor Him, but He is not pleased with them that have the habit of walking disorderly before Him.

 "Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed."

God is ever true to His Word. He honors them that honor Him. For instance, the men of old that served Him were greatly honored in their generations, such as Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, and many more. These men were greatly differentiated in their generations because they honored God with their lives.

  My advice to someone reading this devotional this morning is this: do not relent in your service or honor unto God, for the reward will definitely show up with time.

 There may seem not to be instant evidence of honor on you to show forth, but be persistent and patient. It will surely show forth in due time.  Abraham did not have it rosy at the very beginning, but his end was with tremendous honor. Hallelujah! Don't give up on God, hold on, for God Himself will put honor upon you, in the most effective manner. In the end, the Lord will be counted faithful in your life, in Jesus name.

 PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, You reign in my life and You are worthy to receive all the glory and honor, in Jesus' Mighty name.
