WORD FOR TODAY. CJM

Honor The Lord….

“Them that honour me I will honour.”

1 Samuel 2:30

Do I make the honor of God the great object of my life and the rule of my conduct? If so, He will honor me. I may for a while receive no honor from man, but God will Himself put honor upon me in the most effectual manner. In the end it will be found the surest way to honor to be willing to be put to shame for conscience’ sake.

Eli had not honored the Lord by ruling his household well, and his sons had not honored the Lord by behavior worthy of their sacred office, and therefore the Lord did not honor them but took the high priesthood out of their family and made young Samuel to be ruler in the land instead of any of their kin. God may allow the wicked to win worldly honors; but the dignity which He Himself gives, even glory, honor, and immortality, He reserves for those who by holy obedience take care to honor Him.

What can we do this day to honor the Lord? We can promote His glory by our spoken testimony and by our practical obedience. We can also honor Him with with substance and by offering to Him some special service.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!!
