Honor from God
God saves me and honors me. ~ Psalm 62:7 (CEV)
God will bless you when people insult you, mistreat you, and tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. ~ Matthew 5:11 (CEV)
KEY THOUGHT:
People are looking for ways to disrespect others but God is in the business of honoring his people.
PRAYER:
Gracious Father, it is so good to know you. Even though I let you down by attempting to be in charge, you continue to honor me. Thank you for these blessings and I ask that you would continue to shape my life through them so that all will see Jesus through me. That would be the greatest honor of all. Amen.
