HONOR
JUDGES 5:31 (CEB)
LORD, may your allies be like the sun, rising in its strength.
JOHN 17:22 (CEV)
I have honored my followers in the same way that you honored me...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Those who align themselves with the LORD are those who will be honored with him and through him.
PRAYER
Glorious God, I'm grateful that you have chosen me to be on your team. Forgive me for the times that I pursue honor on my own. Strengthen my faith so that it grows with the intensity of a rising sun on a summer day. I'm going to burn hot for you. Amen.
