It seems for now we are off the beaten road of ploughing through the trudges and rough terrain; however, this topic is no small topic! Honor is something God is accustomed to receive, as well as give, but do we follow suit?
God is worthy of Honor:
Bless — the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.
2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Psalms 104:1-3
God gives man honor:
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psalms 8:5-9
Honor is defined as this:
honour which belongs or is shown to one
a. of the honour which one has by reason of rank and state of office which he holds
b. deference, reverence.
In short, it is preferring one above another. As it pertains to God giving honor to man, it is defined this way: magnificence, that is, ornament or splendor: – beauty, comeliness, excellency, glorious, glory, goodly, honour, majesty.
In other words, God when he looks at us, we are these words as is defined! If you’re struggling with identity, then this is something you should think upon, because loves you like this. It’s hard to believe, and for a long time, I too thought it hard to believe that God could love a person like me, but after a while of thinking like this, I began to allow God room in my heart. Needless to say, I don’t struggle any longer in this area because I am fully convinced, He loves me like this!
I also, am fully convinced that He loves you too like this. Why not open your heart to Him?
With that said, God is restoring this kind of honor back into the world! It’s hard to believe it, but it’s true. The whole world will not partake in it, because they love themselves too much, but Christ’s disciples on the other hand, you’ll spot them out quite easily, because of honor which proceeds from love. God’s love will be the main factor that a disciple of Jesus is distinguished from the rest.
I am of a strong conviction that in the days to come, that God may or may not allow certain activity to proceed without due diligence in honor. Honor is depicted of royalty. As the days are beginning to close out, and the darkness seems to be prevailing, the good news is that God will not allow His to be swallowed up by darkness!
God is honorable like that! In these days, we ought to be practicing this thing called honor. Jesus is asking today “Luk 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
In other words, will we God’s elect, be found loving one another? Will we be found honoring and esteeming one another? This may be the million dollar question!
May God bless you richly. We here at Made in the Fire Ministries would like to wish and pray for all to have a very Happy Thanksgiving! We love you and appreciate you greatly! Blessings!
