From Here to Eternity“Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.” (1 Samuel 2:30) In God’s honor system, God honors those who honor Him. As the LORD of the Harvest, God will multiply the seeds you sow and give them back a hundredfold in a harvest of blessing, increase, favor and promotion. When God makes up His jewels, you’ll be forever among them (Malachi 3:17). By honoring God with your life and lips, by speaking and doing His Word, you’re beaming yourself up to a realm of unimaginable blessing that will take From Here to Eternity to explore. Once you get that kind of eternal perspective on things, you’ll see that it is immature to get mad at God when things don’t work out exactly how and when you want them to. After all, you are not at Burger King, where you can have it your way. You’ll see that your loyalty must be first of all to God, that you must seek FIRST His kingdom and His righteousness, even when things seem to be going wrong in the natural. If you’ll do that, all these other things such as money, pleasure and goodies that you seek will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). God never forgets, He understands your Human Nature and He finds you more Unforgettable than Nat King Cole. He’ll never forget when others were giving up and saying, “O God, where art Thou? This faith stuff, this Word stuff, this Bible stuff doesn’t work!” you were still honoring Him by standing by Him and speaking His promises. Determine in your heart today to be loyal to God in every word you speak. Make up your mind that nothing in your life is as vital as honoring Him for God, not Cameron Diaz, is The Sweetest Thing. God is the Ultimate Judge of the Supreme Court and you should call Him Your Honor every time you approach the Bench. Keep honoring Him and speaking words of faith. It will work deliverance for you in this life, and From Here to Eternity, with or without Burt Lancaster, you’ll be glad you did. Copyright © 2002 Eddy Ministries. All rights reserved.
