12. The Honor Principle

Honoring God is the first principle in a sermon series entitled “Thriving on Chaos” and correlates to Chapter 10 in Hear Me Now on the mark of praise. “We are called as Samuel was to a life given over wholly to the Lord,” Pastor Jerry said. He emphasized that no matter what, we can have confidence that as we honor God and do the right thing, God will honor us and, more importantly, he will honor himself. The key is God’s glory! Fernando, someone whose story was shared during this sermon, was not casual in any way about praising God. He illustrates how the joy of honoring and glorifying God far outweighs any cost.
