HE HONOURS THE SAINTS
Text: Psalm 149:6–9
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Sometimes it seems we're in this world as God's children as if we have no dignity; we are mocked, spat, and scorned.
Every day we have a challenge to prove the existence of our God; even with the numerous signs and wonders that abound, we walk around resisting the urge to join trends, and we close our eyes to the earthly fashion lifestyle.
Sometimes, just like Paul, we are challenged to ask God why our weakness isn't taken care of, but God kept saying, just rely on me; in your weakness, I'm your strength.
So, where is our honour?
THE HONOUR OF THE SAINTS
The hope that keeps us going or moving is the fact that there is a life far better than this after here; the truth that when we behold Him face to face, we will become like Him; and the expectation that there's going to be the judgment of the earth and rewards for the saints at the last day.
The Bible in the scripture above calls this "honour of the saints."
Be quickened, be encouraged, and be strengthened, because the King of Zion honours and will honour you.
Live your life with this understanding, walk around knowing the quality of honour you carry, and relate with people as someone who knows the truth about his present life and the one to come.
There's judgment coming soon, and there are rewards thereafter.
We're not a waste; our rejection here will turn to honour very soon.
Hang on! Your Father honours you!
REFLECTION
Be purified in your mind through the hope of eternity.
PRAYER
Father, help me to keep this hope alive until You return, in Jesus' Name.
