January 20, 2012 ~ How Do You Honor God?

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"REMIND PEOPLE to be submissive to [their] magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared and willing to do any upright and honorable work."

Titus 3:1

TODAY'S WORD:

What do you do to honor God? A lot of times people think, "I go to church to honor God. I read my Bible to honor God. I sing and clap in worship to honor God." And yes, those are ways to honor God, but did you know that you honor God just as much when you get to work on time? You honor God when you are productive each day and honor the people in authority over you. You honor God when you excel in your career. This is true for those women and men also who are stay at home moms or dads or for our retirees or others whom stay home to be caregivers for family or friends. We honor God in our labor and we do not labor in vain.

You see my brothers and sisters it is so true that actions speak louder than words. When you give your very best in the workplace, your whole life is giving praise to God. Showing up with a good attitude, being friendly, organized, just being your best — people will notice there's something different about you. They'll want what you have.

Selah people' and friends as believers, we should set the standard in all areas of life. People should see the depth of your character and your spirit of excellence and know that you are a child of the Most High God. Join me and make the decision to honor Him in all that you do and all that you say because You are His representative in the earth today! Remember you may be the only Jesus that people may ever meet.

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father in heaven, I choose to honor You in all that I do. I choose to set the standard and do my very best. Thank You for the privilege to be Your representative. Help me to show Your love and excellence in everything I do. I love You and bless You in Jesus' name. Amen."


Your brother in Christ,
