[He] who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts….
Psalm 15:4 NIV
The man whom God esteems, the one who can dwell on the Holy Hill of our Lord, is the man whose heart is in line with the Creator and whose mind is steadfast on the things of his heart!
If you want to really please God, then honor those who do His will. Place the emphasis of your life on lifting up those who have set their hearts on the things of God. Give respect to the ones who fear the Lord and are committed to seeing the cross exalted!
Hate sin! Be careful of those with whom you associate. Love everyone, but don't give credence to those who participate in worldly living or that take people away from being holy. Don't honor the sinner; honor the saint!
And keep your word! Try everyday not to make promises you cannot keep. If you do make a commitment, follow it through at any cost! Let your yes be yes and your no be no! People should know that they can rely on you to be above reproach. As people begin to see you in your consistent, trusting walk with God, they will begin to understand how they can trust Him as Lord of their lives, too.
God is seeking those who will honor Him with their obedience. Those who do have the wonderful blessing of dwelling intimately with the Master!
