At Northplace, we\u2019ve become accustomed to using this statement: We honor up. We honor down. We honor all around.\xa0
\u201cHonoring Up\u201d means we honor God and those in authority over our lives. \u201cHonoring Down\u201d means we honor younger generations. It means we honor those who serve us in some way, whether it\u2019s the waitress at lunch, the baggage handler at the airport, or the person you pay to mow your yard. \u201cHonoring All Around\u201d means showing honor to your peers and equals.
There are some incredible promises in scripture to people who understand and live out the concept of honor. God promises to reward honor. We continue to look at Abraham, but we\u2019ll also look to the New Testament to see how honor invites God\u2019s reward and blessing into our lives.
