Honor. Though it is almost an extinct virtue in the twenty-first century, the
concept still holds the power to move us. In movies a display of honor can
inspire tears as courage and sacrifice are witnessed. Review the greatest
blockbusters of all time and you'll find honor interwoven into their plots. We
applaud its virtue vicariously, but where is honor in our everyday lives? The
notion that it could be lived in the ordinary has become foreign to our
generation.
I want to see honor restored to the sons and daughters of God. It is the
essential key to receiving from God, and for this very reason the enemy of our
souls has all but eliminated the true power of honor. Honor carries with it great
rewards; rewards God desires you to have. Honor has the power to greatly
enhance your life.
You are about to embark on a journey that will take you closer to the
heart of God, the author of all that is honorable. I pray these revelatory truths
will affect your life in a profound and practical way. Many have not learned
these lessons until much later in life. For this reason John the apostle urgently
writes,
“Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we
worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.”
—2 John 8
