Honoring God to Others
Scripture Numbers 27: [14] for when the community rebelled at the waters in the Desert of Zin, both of you disobeyed my command to honor me as holy before their eyes.” (These were the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Desert of Zin.)
Observation: Do my actions honor God to others? Victoria, a girl in the office left today, but sent out an email telling everyone that she will miss them and how her life was impacted by knowing us. She used God several times and prayer and even if you didn’t know her God was honored by whoever read that email. We can honor or dishonor God by the way we act and treat others. We can be His representative or opponent by the way we live our life.
Application: I want to show God holy to all that He puts in my path. Besides telling others about my Lord I need to live a life that honors Him. I need to follow the commands that He has given me through His word. I need to treat others the way I want to be treated and when I encourage someone, bless them, help them or do anything that I know pleases God, I need to give God the glory so others can see where my heart comes from.
Prayer: Dear Lord I want to honor you and glorify you to others. Give me all that I need to do that. Give me a loving heart like your Son and show me how to demonstrate your goodness through me. May I always give you all the honor and glory.
