FAITH CAPSULE: Honoring God will no doubt bring honor’s God to you.

Genesis 39, Daniel 6

Worshiping God is giving honor to God. Honoring God is not in quoting the word of God but living and behaving the word of God. God does not move by just the words of our mouth but by the actions behind His word in our mouth. Bible described God, “…For the LORD is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.” (1 Samuel 2:3) Worshiping God is our action that measures before God.
God is a faithful God and His word cannot be broken. God confirmed the validity of His word when He spoke, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)
Do you know that honoring God will no doubt bring honor’s God to you?
Know that when you make a life style of honoring God is what will no doubt bring honor of God to you. Consciously or unconsciously, are you taking steps to honor God? Through the pages of scripture we are to learn and identify what it means to be honoring (be worshiping) God. Some men took deliberate steps to honor God in all ways of living life. God responded to men that honored Him with honor beyond their imagination. Among men that honored God and were highly lifted up by Gods honor were Daniel and Joseph.
Daniel knew the gravity of denying other gods to honor his God. Daniel was set by his enemies for not honoring gods but God as a result he went to his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem. Daniel knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days. (Daniel 6:10) Daniel honored God and God honored him by shutting up the mouth of lion not to hurt Daniel.
Joseph had a good reason to despise God but he honored God. Joseph was in position to become the master of the house when his master’s wife persistently attempted to lie with him. The Bible recorded, “But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.” (Genesis 39:11-12) Joseph dishonored the wife of his master to honor his God.
Make honoring God your life style like Joseph and Daniel and He will honor you.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God upon your life and be a vessel of honor.
