Prayers for Day Nine…
Showing honor means treating another respectfully
because we value them highly. The only
way we can appropriately honor others is by properly arranging our
lives…putting God, others and ourselves in the rightful places. In meekness, we must first put God on His
throne, in the supreme position of authority.
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John
3:30
When we truly recognize that apart from Christ we
are nothing and that we regularly fall short of God’s holy standard, then we
can “in humility count others more significant than” ourselves.
(Philippians 2:3)
“Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.” 1
Peter 2:17
In order for our sons to grown into men of honor,
they have to show honor and respect to all people. In humility, we must teach them to recognize
how insignificant we all are apart from the grace of God. The only good thing in us is revealed when we
are clothed in the robes of Christ’s righteousness.
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive
power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
Revelation 5:12
