Honouring God, Honouring Others
God created us to live as honourable people – honouring God, honouring others, and experiencing the joy of living as persons of integrity and honour. Living life only to please ourselves, whether in addiction or recovery, leaves us dissatisfied and vulnerable to harm. However, living life according to God’s principles, will prove to be both satisfying and purposeful.
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. (Romans 12:10 NIV)
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” (Psalm 91:14-16 NLT)
God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 6:20, Proverbs 3:9, 1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT)
As we honour God and others above ourselves, God will enable us to be the person He created us to be – a person who experiences honour.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I want to be mature and leave self-centeredness behind so I can live in a way that honours You and others. Please give me the will and desire to do so. Amen
