Day Twenty-One – Outdo
in Honor
“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo
one another in showing honor” (Romans 12:10).
Love in this verse is a combination of two Greek words for
love which mean literally (philos) to wish someone well and (storge) loving
affection and loving tenderly (enduringword).
One way to do this is by counting the other person as
precious and worth something in such a way that you desire to lead them in
showing them honor because of who they are as God’s creation.
It would be a wonderful world if we spent our time valuing
other people over ourselves by outdoing one another in showing honor. Just
think of what a great world this would be! What are some practical ways you can
do this for your family today? Discuss it. How could you show each family
member honor today?
Even though people may annoy you from time to time it is
better to still consider them as special because they too are God’s unique
creation. No person is worthless but instead full of worth. Practice showing
this kind of love within your family then it can move out into the world.
Today’s Action
What are some practical ways you can practice showing your sibling(s)
honor and love today? Do these things.
Parent’s Action
Help them follow through with this and pray. Pray continually that
these actions they are taking are making them closer and done out of a joy to serve
one another instead of duty.
