Following Leads to Honor
"If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor."
~ John 12:26
If I imitate Jesus, I shall have His company; if I am like Him, I shall be with Him. In due time He will take me up to dwell with Him above, if I have striven to follow him here below. After his suffering our Lord came to His throne, and after we have suffered a while with Him here below, we also shall arrive in glory. Come, my soul, pluck up courage.
Let me not fail to note that the Father will honor those who follow His Son. If He see me true to Jesus, He will put marks of favor and honor upon me for His Son's sake. No honor can be like this; the fore, cling to the Lord more closely than ever." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:For THine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
