IT'S AN HONOR

 August 28, 2024

Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Thou art the Potter;
I am the clay
mold me and make me
after thy will,
while I am waiting,
yielded and still. …
AMEN.

Romans 12:10 (NLT)

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

.... Honor one another above yourselves. (NIV)

Today lets think about honoring one another with enthusiasm. Romans 12 encourages us to "Take delight in honoring each other." This means we should be enthusiastic and strive to excel in showing honor to one another. It suggests a positive kind of rivalry where we aim to surpass each other in giving respect and recognition.

Can you imagine that? Think about this for a moment. What would our life be like if we were driven, motivated, inspired, enjoyed, and enthusiastic about honoring the people in our life? What if they reciprocated? Imagine!!

What would happen in relationships if it was the practice to try to outdo each other in honoring one another?

What would it look like if brothers and sisters enjoyed honoring one another?

What would it look like in our neighborhoods if we were motivated to honor one another?

The power of honoring one another has the potential of revolutionizing every relationship in your life.  So lets take delight in each other and be eager to show honor to others.

LET US PRAY

O God, help me to "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above" myself. Amen

(Philippians 2:3)
