Jesus further expressed this concept when He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor<\/strong> (John 12:26).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> We honor God by being good stewards of the blessings He has provided. Let us note what the Proverb writer tells us in Proverbs 3:9:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This passage teaches that we are to honor God with our material means He has provided (cf. 2 Corinthians 9:5-8; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> We are to honor God with the talents He has equipped us with:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness<\/strong> (Romans 12:6-8).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Properly honoring God with our lives, is a day-to-day, moment-by-moment process. In every decision-making situation, we need to ask ourselves, What would honor the Lord at this moment? Then we need to act accordingly, as the inspired Scriptures direct us.<\/p>\n<p>If we faithfully and properly honor God, we can rest assured that He will honor us with the glory of His salvation (Psalm 62:7; cf. Jeremiah 3:23; Psalm 3:8), and bless us with every spiritual blessing &#8220;in Christ&#8221; (Ephesians 1:3).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Giving Glory To God<\/li>\n<li>An Expression Of Our Gratitude To God<\/li>\n<li>Grace And Salvation  Found Only &#8220;In Christ Jesus&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated Spiritual Training<\/li>\n<li>Spiritual Success Rests In God&#8217;s Hands<\/li>\n<li>Our Only Expectation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have we ever thought how we honor God in our everyday living?
