Honor God - Roma Downey

Lord, help me embrace all you teach me as I meditate on your Word. 

Observe As Christians, we must realize our lives were bought at a price, and they now belong to God. Therefore, we are to honor him in all our ways—our thoughts, actions, beliefs, and behaviors. 

We honor God by being honest about our struggles and shortcomings. God is a God of mercy and grace, and the Christian life is a life of repentance and second chances. The world needs to see real people with real problems who are loved unconditionally and cared for by God. When we attempt to display perfection, we dishonor God; we place him out of reach for the unbelieving sinner, and we set ourselves up for failure and hypocrisy. 

To bring glory to God requires pure motives and a good attitude. No matter what we do or where we are, we can honor God by how we present ourselves, how we treat others, and how we exemplify our devotion and dedication to our Savior. 

Roma Downey is an Emmy-nominated actress, successful producer, and faithful Christian. She and her husband, Mark Burnett, have produced a faith-based movie and multiple biblically based television series. Roma has been named one of the “100 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood.” It has been said that one of Roma’s greatest strengths is the grace she brings to every negotiation, development, and production. In her own words, “If I were to look back at my career, I think my greatest achievement is very simple: I’ve been able to make choices where I could glorify God.” 

Courageously honor God by living by the following truths. 

1. Honor God by obeying his commandments (John 14:15). 

2. Honor God through your praise and worship (Psalm 29:1–2). 

3. Honor God by making his name famous (Psalm 105:1). 

4. Honor God through your generosity toward others (2 Corinthians 9:13). 

Interpret As Christians, we are to live in light of the fact that Christ bought us with a price. Therefore, we are to honor him with our bodies and our lives.
