HONOR

One definition of honor is “honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions.” When I think of honor, I typically think of our US Armed Forces or maybe a movie like Gladiator.



#HONOR is a principle thing! It begins with your heart. You need to think about, “What do you value and cherish?” Here are some starter questions to get you thinking…

· Do you appreciate the life that God has given you? How are you taking care of your health?
· Do you value your relationship with your wife? Does she see this through your actions?
· Do you cherish your children? Do you speak words of encouragement over them daily?
· Do you value the income you receive from your employer? Do you give your job your best?

When you honor God and others you do relationship with, you will begin to THINK differently. It is an elevated way of thinking and when you begin with honor, you make different choices and end up with different outcomes than when you don’t.

If you are grateful for what you have, then you should show honor with your words and actions in all that you do. If you behave this way regularly, it becomes part of your DNA. Your wife will see you as a different man, your children will be grateful they have you as your father, your boss will see you as a different kind of employee and God will see your heart is aligned with His.

In this week ahead, you are surely to be busy preparing for Christmas and time with your family and friends. In these special moments, make sure to glorify Jesus (showing honor) and celebrating the real “reason for the season.” When you have some intimate time with someone you love or appreciate, let them know with a kind gesture, gift or even a card. Make time to honor those around you and see the blessings in your life unfold.

Believing God’s Best for You!
