Honor the Lord
When you have eaten so much that you can’t eat anymore, don’t forget it was the Lord who set you free... ~ Deuteronomy 6:11b-12a (CEV)
When you eat or drink or do anything else, always do it to honor God. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:31 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Whatever we do, even eating and drinking, we do it to honor the Lord.
PRAYER:
Lord, you are worthy of all honor and glory. Thank you for being so generous in providing for our family. I confess that I get a little smug when I have a lot. I begin to think that it all comes to me because I've worked hard and I am especially worthy -- that you are honoring me. Remind me that it all comes from you and so all honors belong to you. I'm not going to forget you. Amen.
