Honor Him in All That You Do... as Nicole did

Borrowing from Pastor Joel Osteen....

"Remind people to be submissive to [their] magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared and willing to do any upright and honorable work"
(Titus 3:1, AMP)


In what ways do you honor God? A lot of times, people think “I go to church to honor God. I read my Bible to honor God. I sing and clap to honor God.” And yes, those are ways to honor God, but did you know that you honor God just as much when you get to work on time? You honor God when you are productive each day and honor the people in authority over you. You honor God when you excel in your career.

Actions speak louder than words. When you give your very best in the workplace, your whole life is giving praise to God—it’s one of the best witnesses you could ever have. Just showing up with a good attitude, friendly, organized, being your best—people will notice there’s something different about you. They’ll want what you have.

As believers, we should set the standard in all areas of life. People should see the depth of your character and your spirit of excellence and know that you are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision to honor Him in all that you do because you are His representative in the earth today!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I choose to honor You in all that I do. I choose to set the standard and do my very best. Thank You for the privilege to be Your representative. I love You and bless You! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Thank you, Nicole....

Yesterday, we were all excited about having lunch at Italiannies when suddenly, my husband's handphone rings and he says "you're calling me" and as I'm frantically searching my pouch, finding no phone there, I'm looking at him puzzled, trying to make sense of it when he answers the call.

That's when it hit me that I'd lost my handphone!!! Horror of horrors! Losing my phone is akin to losing my diary (those of you who watched the movie will know what I mean!) and I was horrified, my brain conjuring up images of attempts lost time, trying to recreate my phone book, etc.

In the meantime, I heard my husband telling whoever the person was to drop the phone of at church, so as the bubble (of anxiety) burst, I came back to reality with a sense of relief! 3 hours later, as we came out of the Curve, and I wanted to head for church to collect my phone, my husband is telling me that the person may only be returning the phone tomorrow!! Arggghhhh!!!! And he hadn't asked where the person lived so that I could go and pick up my phone from her!!!

So I desperately dialled my number over and over and over again, hoping to get an answer but the line kept getting cut off. I was imagining the worst by the time I reached home and I prayed that I'd get my phone back safely. I felt the anxiety attack coming back all over again, so I decided to take a nap so let the attack pass.... my weak attempt at an act of faith that my prayer would be answered....

I got up about an hour later, and my husband's phone rang. It was a call from my number!! I held my breath as I said "Hello" and only exhaled after my lungs felt like they were about to burst! The caller was Nicole's mum, Anne, and she very kindly offered to send the phone to me at an agreed meeting place.

So all's well that ends well. God answers prayers! In the morning during L2 class, Frank was talking about the 10 commandments (one of them being "thou shall not covet thy neighbour's goods") and I'm so proud of you, Nicole, as I'm sure your mum is. You lived out Frank's presentation without knowing it!! God bless you for tracing the phone's owner! :-)
