Honor Him
Them that honor me I will honor. (1 Samuel 2:30)
Do I make the honor of God the great object of my life and the rule of my conduct? If so, He will honor me. I may for a while receive no honor from man, but God will Himself put honor upon me in the most effectual manner. In the end it will be found the surest way to honor to be willing to be put to shame for conscience’ sake.
Eli had not honored the Lord by ruling his household well, and his sons had not honored the Lord by behavior worthy of their sacred office, and therefore the Lord did not honor them but took the high priesthood out of their family and made young Samuel to be ruler in the land instead of any of their tine. If I would have my family ennobled, I must honor the Lord in all things. God may allow the wicked to win worldly honors; but the dignity which He Himself gives, even glory, honor, and immortality, He reserves for those who by holy obedience take care to honor Him.
What can I do this day to honor the Lord? I will promote His glory by my spoken testimony and by my practical obedience, I will also honor Him with my substance and by offering to Him some special service. Let me sit down and think how I can honor Him, since He will honor me.

Lyrics by Rev. Billy Kristanto
Lord, who may dwell in Your tent,
who may live in Your Holy hill?
He , whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous
who speaks the truth from his heart
and has no slander on his tounge
he who does no wrong to his neighbour
and cast no slur on his fellowman
who honors those who fear, fear the Lord,
he does this things will never be shaken,
will never be, will never be shaken.
