A man or woman has honor if they hold themselves to an ideal of conduct and concept though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.
We are living in a day and in a time that lacks honor. No matter where you look honor is an old-world phenomena found in a bygone age. It is a concept that has been corrupted and twisted. Today, in the world of business, government, and education nobility and integrity let alone moral decency are hard to find. The world worships at the altar of celebrity and gives adulation and adoration to counterfeits because we have forgotten that glamor is not greatness, applause is not fame, and prominence is not eminence.
We who are Christians must be people of honor and nobility. We are to live lives of distinction and dignity for we are looking for a destiny with Jesus and until that time as we live in this time we are to reveal and represent Him in and to a lost and dying world.
Mark it well, make no mistake, the King is coming in glory and honor: - Daniel 7:13-14,
- Jude 25,
- Romans 11:36, 16:27,
- 1 Timothy 1:17
If He is coming then, how should we live now?
As Tolkien counsels us, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
As Moses commands us, “Teach us to number our days that we might present to you a heart of wisdom.”
As I commend to us, Count the days and make the days count.
Serving Him with you Until He comes for us. Fred |
