*Honouring God*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:"* Proverbs 3:9 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
To honour God is to love him, obey him, and please him.
God loves to be sincerely and genuinely honoured. God detects and detests shallow honour that is born of hypocrisy and unfaithfulness.
Isaiah 29:13-14 (Amplified Bible): And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning], Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden.
God demands we honour him with our minds, souls, spirit and bodies (strength). Thus adding our substance can be a sign of genuine honour but when even that is done without genuine obedience or regard, God is not pleased. Honour God with your substance & do so genuinely.
_MEDITATION:_
*"A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?"* (Malachi 1:6 (KJV))
