Living A Life That Honors The Lord

How can I live a life that honor's the Lord?

1. Surrender. He must live His life through us. That calls for our absolute surrender. That's the beginning point of faith.
2. Spirit. The Holy Spirit must empower and impart this life that honors the Father. Without the Holy Spirit, that life is impossible.
3. Stop. We have to get out of the way. We have to stop operating in our flesh effort and rest in trusting Him by faith. If we are trying, we are missing the whole point. If we are frustrated, troubled, worried, or afraid, then we need to stop trying to live this life in our own strength. We need to let go and let God.
4. Still. The victorious Christian life is a life of rest, effortlessness. We just need to be still before Him. Quit clamoring, fighting, struggling, exerting, complaining, and controlling.
5. Sure. We must believe that He's in control. He can handle it, whatever "it" is. He doesn't need our help. He will fulfill His promise to take over and live out the Life for us and through us. We can be sure because He signed a contract with us in His Son's blood.
