Honor
"... Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable." Romans 12:17
There are very few words left these days that universally generate positive emotions and thoughts. The word "honorable" is one of those. Recently, I had to have some body work done on one of our vehicles after a little fender bender initiated by a family member, who will remain unnamed. We were very pleased with the work and that the cost was less than the estimate. In addition, they sent the car to be detailed inside and out after the repair was completed! The car was returned to us in far better condition than we had dropped it off.
I'm thinking that the manager had read our verse for the day. Conducting oneself in an honorable way leaves a lasting impression. I won't ever feel the need to seek out a different body shop. Living honorably is such a big deal that God saw fit to address it in his word so that we would address it with him in our daily living.
The eyes of others are upon us. What do they see? If we tell them we're a Jesus follower, we should look like a Jesus follower too. When we conduct ourselves honorably, we bring honor to the one who is the very definition of honorable.
Grace and Peace,
Tom
