January 16, 2006 - Before Honor
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility. - Proverbs 18:12
God always honors faithfulness. Those who are "haughty" in heart always seek their own needs and desires above others and God. The way to honor is not through intelligence or talent, but through humility. Being humble is not just looking downcast, but it is a consistent submission and constant placing other's needs above our own. It is not a mystery that those who are proud will find at the end of their lives nothing but heartache and destruction.
For those who diligently seek God's righteousness and His kingdom will find a life of honor. Let not anyone think that they can come arrogantly before God. We have been given the privilege to come boldly before the throne of grace but not in a "haughty" spirit, but one of humility. Do you want to be blessed today? Then exalt Jesus and consecrate (consecrate is defined as: "To declare or set apart as sacred")Him in your heart.
