HONORING GOD


PSALM 18:49 (CEV)
I will praise you, LORD,
and I will honor you
   among the nations.


REVELATION 15:4 (CEV)
Lord, who doesn't honor
   and praise your name?
You alone are holy,
   and all nations will come
   and worship you...

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Honoring and praising God is trending among the nations; so get with it.

DAILY FODDER
What is the single most important way you honor God? 

PRAYER
Glorious God, even on the most chaotic of days you are worthy of all praise and honor. I admit that I'm not very exuberant in my woship until the conditions all feel perfect. The music has to be just right and the gathering time perfect — and I have to be feeling really good. Teach me to worship in a way that will fully honor you even if it's not convienent or my style or I'm not feeling well. Perhaps the honor I extend to you during the off moments is the best received. Amen. 

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
     we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
