1Samuel 2:30: ‘ for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.’

DAILY READING: James 1; Jeremiah 21-22; Psalm 129

In a recent podcast, NBA star Steve Curry said that Romans 8:28, formed a foundation for his faith when he was younger. He says his faith gives him strength, and the Word of God is his beacon of light and lighthouse.
Steve Curry is a six-time NBA All-Star, whom many players and analysts have called the greatest shooter in NBA history. He is credited with revolutionizing the game of basketball. Yet Steve Curry credits all of his success to God.
During his MVP speech he openly declared “People should know who I represent and why I am who I am, and that’s because of my Lord and Savior.”
When playing on the court he often pounds his chest and points up. He said the reason for that is because he has a “heart for God” and also it is a reminder that he plays for God.
Curry says that although he takes every opportunity to talk to someone about God and his faith, he puts a larger emphasis on letting his actions speak for him. Part of the action that speaks for him is the Bible verse on the side of the sneakers he wears on the court; Philippians 4:13 which says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It is a verse that gives him strength and a sense of purpose, to remember who he is playing for every time he laces up his sneakers to get on the court. Curry also has written on his wrist, in Hebrew “First Corinthians 13:8”—Love never fails…
No doubt God has honored Curry and blessed him tremendously. Today he is ranked among the most famous international athletes and world’s highest-paid celebrities for his endorsements.

God said in 1 Samuel 2:30, ‘For them that honour Me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed’.
Every position God has granted us is for us to serve Him and proclaim His Kingdom. We are where we are only by His grace. Therefore wherever we go, we must use every opportunity to serve Him. And when our goal is to serve God, then honor automatically follows us.
In John 12:26 Jesus says ‘If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.’
As Christians, our whole life should be focused on bringing glory to God. Honoring God means making Him our top priority. It means putting Him first in everything and making Him our number one consideration in every decision. We must conduct our lives and affairs is such a way that it bring glory to God’s Name. Whatever we do,, wherever we are, we must endeavor to always bring glory to God.
There is a commanded blessing that comes upon those who honor God. When you keep honoring God, you become a magnet for His goodness.
One key way we honor God is by praising Him. Praise brings the Presence of God which beautifies the destinies of men. Therefore to see greater open doors this year, let us endeavor to bless the Lord at all times and let His praise continually be on our lips. The more we honor God and uplift Him before men, the more He will also elevate us to higher positions in life.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to honor You continually with my life. Wherever I go please help me to use every available opportunity to bring glory to You, so that Your blessings will abound in my life in Jesus’ Name.
