Today's Reading:

Consider This:
- What role does “honor” play in your life?
- What do you honor and how do you honor it?
- Do you honor God?
- How do you honor God?
- Who can you point to in the bible that honored God?
- How did they honor God?
- In what ways do you honor your father and mother?
- Can you improve in this area? How?
Treasure Applications:
- When you serve others how do you ensure that you are honoring God and the other person instead of trying to bring honor to yourself?
- Have you ever been in a position to serve a parent and then found that either of you experience healing through that service? How about serving a child?
