Honor

Lord, the kingdom belongs to you. You are honored as the one who rules over all. ~ 1 Chronicles 29:11b (NIRV)

What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” ~ Hebrews 2:9a (NLT)
Lord,

THANKS: You are the one worthy of all honor, yet you honored us with your own personal sacrifice. Jesus suffered and died for us. I'm so incredibly thankful for that.

REGRETS: But I'm still kind of stuck on trying to collect honors for myself. I like to be recognized as special. I know that's not necessarily bad but it has become too important.

INTERCESSION: I want to get things right. Help me to figure out a way to acknowledge the honor that you have given to me through your sacrifice and at the same time to make my life all about honoring you.

PURPOSE: My primary purpose in life is to add honor to your reputation.

Amen.
