I just had the pleasure of viewing a sermon by Dr. Dollar on the theme of honoring of God. Part of his sermon text came from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
These verses say clearly that we must honor God with our bodies. It means that whatever we do, we do to it all to honor our Father. If you clean a room, do that to the best of your ability so that you will honor your Lord. At your job, work honorably, in truth, doing all that you are able. Do not take that extra couple of minutes on a break or sneak away early because you don't punch a timeclock. Do all that the employer asks and do more than that to honor your Father. Are you a student? Tests and homework can be done to honor the Lord. Raising children or teaching them? Shine the Light of God in your life by teaching them who their Savior is and how to live for Him. In places where it is unacceptable to talk about Jesus, show the Lord through your actions and attitude.
We can honor God through all we do if only the thought comes to do so. Have you read your Bible today? That honors the Lord. Do you pray? That honors our Father. Is studying the Bible part of your life? You honor the Savior that way. Are you having a closer relationship, fellowship with the Lord? You honor Him in doing so. God is looking for people who are willing to get to know Him better. He wants an extremely close encounter with you on a daily basis. Did you know that? That, too, honors Him.
Take the time today to think about how you can honor the Lord with your life. Be diligent in all you do for Him. Make it a habit to live your life to shine the Light of God in all the faces you see. What an honor to Him for what He has done for you!! You always honor your Lord when you are a blessing to someone.
