Give honour where honour is due
Psalm 29:2 (NKJV)
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Put another way
The Message
Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, "Encore!" In awe before the glory, in awe before God's visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him!
Let us remember that all glory and honour belong to Him because He is the one worthy and most deserving of it. It is He that has saved us so wonderfully and keeps us so faithfully. I like what this Psalm reminds each of us to do today, which is to give Him that which is rightfully His.
The great Baptist preacher Charles H. Spurgeon put it this way: "The moment we glory in ourselves, we set ourselves up as rivals to the Most High. Shall the insect of an hour glorify itself against the sun which warmed it into life? Shall the pot exalt itself above the man who fashioned it upon the potter's wheel? Shall the dust of the desert strive with the whirlwind? Or the drops of the ocean struggle with the tempest? Give unto the Lord, all ye righteous, give unto the Lord glory and strength; give unto Him the honour that is due His name."
Well put, Charles! Let us take a moment in our busy, successful lives to remind ourselves that all the glory and the honour belongs to Him. Without Him how successful, prosperous or significant would we really be? As we daily live to bow our knees humbly and give all glory and honour to Him, He daily honours us with continual goodness and mercy.
Revelation 4:11 (NIV)
You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
Today is another opportunity to give Him what He is due; so don't hold back, give it to Him, Champion!
Bless you,
Andy
