1 Samuel 2:30
But now the LORD declares: "... Those who honor me I will honor..."
It can't be my motivation, but it's pretty awesome to know that if I honor God, He will honor me. I have watched this principle my whole life. I watched my parents up close. They chose (and still choose) to purposefully honor God every step of the way and in every area of their lives. I've seen the blessing that results. Among many other things, it turned out a family that loves each other and a marriage that is an example for all to see. Those are both direct blessings from God.
I've often heard people say, "If only I would have ______ more." I've never heard anyone fill in that blank with "been farther from God".
He keeps His promises. He honors us when we honor Him. Honor God with your life and watch what He does with it. I'm going to keep trying.
This is so true. I'm working on this right now. It's not easy, but it's 100% worth it.

Josh- Thank you for that Scripture. Recently in BSF, we have embraced, "O Lord, you are my God." Isaiah 25:1.I love that. I say that to God all the time now, and when I do, I feel such reverence for my Lord. I honor him as I call out to him, and I'm pleased if He honors me likewise, in my words and hopefully my actions. You continue to amaze me and inspire me. Always praying for you and your family. God bless you and keep you.
