Day 6 – An Honorable Life

“If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.” James 3:13

Expanding on thinking continually on all that is honorable and noble (Philippians 4:8), The Bible also tells us how to live honorably with good reputations.

The way to live an honorable life is by doing good works with humility. Jesus being our example, inspiration and motivation. “His work [is] honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever” Psalm 111:3

The way we live impacts how others see us and Christ because we are His representatives.  

We are to act, speak, and live out the attitude of humble service with integrity; not only to be honorable ourselves, but also to draw honor to Him who has enabled us to act, speak, and live this way. “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love” Ephesians 4:2

Colossians 3:12 gives a good definition of what we can call an honorable life: “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience”.

Prayer: Lord, please help me to live an honorable life of humility and good works that show my gratitude. Lead me in every Kingdom-task you planned for me to do in obedience and faithfulness. Refine me so that I will bring honor to our Heavenly Kingdom in my role as Your Ambassador here on earth. Amen
