Honor
In my devotional time today I wrote about the how I’ve changed from having a “need for respect” to having a “need to honor God by honoring others”.
When I was governed by the “need for respect”, I knew I had to “look” respectable. I let others opinion of me sway my actions, and I intentionally avoided situations that may have put me in a bad light.
Having a need to “honor others” means I no longer have to “look” respectable – I have to be honorable. I no longer let others opinion of me sway my actions, but I allow God’s opinion of others move me. I don’t worry about being seen in a “bad light” instead I’m focused of being in the Light.
I know this is going to develop into a series. For now, listen to what the Bible says about showing honor. Love to have your comments.
