1 Samuel 2:28-30 (KJV)
Those who honor me, I will honor.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (NLT)
Mark 6:2-5 (KJV)
Honor beings with options
Options show preference
Preference leads to choice
Choice shows honor
God is a God of desire. He doesn’t take desire away, He purifies it. The bulk of things the world pursues were all Gods’ idea.
When God is first, desires take their proper place. They are healthy, pure and add to our joy.
Problems arise though when He is not first. When we prefer the desire above the God who made it, God will challenge that desire and every time He does, It’s your chance to honor Him.
Mark 10:17-31 (KJV)
