As Christians, We Must Strive to Give Honor to God in Our Daily Life
May our Holy God be honored in all parts of our daily lives. . Certainly, the evil one and the ways of the world cry out for us to be selfish and not to honor God, but to honor ourselves first.
One of the most obvious ways we can fail to honor God is to be disobedient. There are many possible reasons or excuses why people disobey God. They may seem like good ideas for doing something against God's revcealed will in the Bible, bu they all come down to obedience or disobedience no matter what the reason. In short, the truth is this, if we understand and truly know who God is and understand our relationship with Him and how much He loves us there is no good reason to disobey Him. We should do, without hesitation, whatever God tells us to do but that is hard sometimes since our flesh doesn't like some of what God wants. Jesus said it like this: "If you love me, you will obey what I command" (John 14:15). We fail to honor God when we disobey Him.
It is such a great privilege to go to God in prayer and to spend time reading in His word. God wants to rejoice with us; He wants to comfort us in our sorrow. He wants to help and encourage us in our difficult times and see and hear our joy and excitement in the good times. Another way that we fail to honor God when we don't invite Him into our everyday life.
During the remaining days of Lent, let us press in and see that God is good. Let us honor God in our homes and in our work, in our families and in every part of our lives. To God be the glory, great things He has done!
