I was talking about honor and the fear of the Lord with one of you guys the other day, and i said I'd give you some info. If you want more, I have it, but here's a little for anyone who is interested.
The Bible has a lot to say about the subjects of honor and integrity. They are characteristics of the most highly respected and influential men and women in the Bible. Honor is something many of us are not familiar with.
Integrity however, many of us are. In Matthew 5:37 Jesus tells the crowd "Let your yes, be yes, and let your no, be no." Basically..... If you say you're going to do something, then do it. If you can't do it, don't say that you will. Job, David, Joseph, Jesus... are all people of integrity. God calls us to live in truth. Do your words and actions match up???
Honor, is a deeper study, and there are many things to it. But lets say that it is tied to the fear of the Lord. The idea that what God says, is more important than what people say. PRoverbs talks about the fear of man and the fear of God. If you're reading a proverb a day, as many of you are, check it out. There's a lot in there, just look for it. Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 15:33 are 2 verses to check out.
Tell me what you think about this.
God is honored when we worship Him.
God honors us when we give our lives to Him.
I am honored when i spend time to share the Word of God with YOU each week.
Honor is NOT about me.
Some thoughts for you. Leave comments and questions, I love to interact with you.

thanks dude
but still, the fear of the lord is...What?
...begining of knowledge and wisdom?...no, no cliche
is it? perhaps, or perhaps we have no idea the lifestyle involved in the fear of the lord. It's far more than a checklist. And the first of many pieces to the puzzle. Let's say you're setting out on an expedition. Months of traveling and climbing. This is the first step. The fear of the Lord is getting pointed in the right direction, and setting priorities so the rest of the journey has a framework, it has boundaries that other decisions are made around. Isn't that part of Wisdom? Having the knowledge of God, through the word, and understanding by His Spirit it's purpose in our lives. But this is just the beginning.........
What do you think?
