Honor from God

[S] Hebrews 5:4 --
4 And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

[O] I once read a book titled, Disciples are Make, Not Born because of the catchy title and this passage reminded me of that book because just like how disciples are made through a process of character building, honor is also something that takes time to earn and given by others.  At times, honor is confused with popularity because both is recognized by others, however, the honor begins with God's calling.

[A] Aaron was called by God into the position of leading His people and they honored him as God's priest.  In my life's purpose, I need to take a moment and think about where I stand before God; where He has called me into His service in honor of His name.  This does not mean I have to be like Aaron, but more of a conviction of knowing where God has called me to serve Him.

[P] Dear Father, show me the way for me to serve You with the maximum output from my life You instilled in me.  May it be with honor for Your name's sake as I ask in Jesus' name.  Amen.
