Christ followers understand God’s call to honor Him in the things we do, say, and think throughout every day of our lives in Christ. We are to show honor to God in our worship, by our obedience to His commands and calling, in our relationships with our fellow human beings, in everything we say, in our daily work to the glory of God, in our stewardship of the blessings God has bestowed on our lives, in living lives of holiness, in thankfulness for God’s presence and work in our lives – especially our salvation through Christ out of death in our sins into eternal life in His glorious presence, and in fulfillment by His empowerment of the mission(s) He has assigned to us.
Bible Book: Deuteronomy
As we celebrate Mothers’ Day this year, we begin a new message series – Called to Honor. How appropriate that we should begin this series with God’s commandment for us to – “Honor Your Father and Your Mother.” (Deuteronomy 5:16). God’s call for us to lives of honor begins with us seeing our fellow creatures as God sees us – His beloved children created in His own image. When we view those around us in this light, we are filled with the desire to honor and serve them as we do our beloved God Himself.
When you include regular prayer and fasting as part of your relationship with Jesus, you will not regret it. God is faithful, He is just, and He always fulfills His promises. Especially for those who are closest to Him. You want to be closer to Jesus, start praying daily and adding in fasting for more urgent matters.
