Honoring God -Living a Life that Pleases Him
God says “Those who honour me — I will honour." (1 Samuel 2:30)
All history attests to it. The greatest way to live with honor is to Honor God. God is to be honored, by ascribing to Him the glory of His matchless Excellency (Ex 15:11; Psalm 104:1).
He is to be honored by sanctifying Him in our hearts (Isa 8:13) and by trusting, adoring, and obeying Him.
He is to be honored in our worship: "God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints" (Psalm 89:7). "Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious" (Psalm 66:2).
Jesus said in John 14:15: “If you love me, you will obey what I command”. No matter what anyone else says, or what is happening around you, nothing will influence you more than God's Word. God is our highest treasure, our greatest delight, our deepest joy.
Our most profound happiness is that God loves us, that God knows us that God cares for us, that God has given himself to us, and that we get to live for his glory. Not that we have to, but that we get to. We get to finally do the singular cause for which we were made: “To Honor God.”
We honor God when we trust & obey Him completely. (Proverbs 3:5, Hebrews 5:9, Acts 5:29)
We honor God when we love &please Him constantly. Ephesians 5:2, 1 John 3:22, 4:7-8,)
We honor God when we pray & praise Him continually. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Psalm 34:1)
We honor God when we walk &follow Him closely (Genesis 5:24, Galatians 5:16)
We honor God when we ponder& practice His word commonly. (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:15)
We honor God when we worship Him in the Spirit and truth consistently. (John 4:24)
God Bless you
