GOD DESIRES TO HONOR YOU!

GOD DESIRES TO HONOR YOU! HE HAS DECLARED:

“This is the one I esteem:

he who is humble and contrite in spirit,

and trembles at my word.” (Isaiah 66:2)

            Three requirements from God:

            1. HUMILITY.  Not looking down on yourself. Rather it is that spirit of honest self-                examination that prevents your having a “sound proof” head.  Humility enables a person to continue growing and learning throughout life.

            2. CONTRITE IN SPIRIT. This is “repentance.”  Repentance involves the heart and the head…the emotions and the intellect.  Repentance is that choice of turning to God with the commitment to follow His way as THE WAY: “A LONG OBEDIENCE IN GOD’S DIRECTION.”

            3. RESPECT FOR GOD’S WORD.  We have the Bible because of the Holy Spirit’s preservation. We must study His word with the fervent desire to know what the Father is saying to us.
