The Heavenly Father honors these people!

Students need to be available to be where their teachers or mentors are. They need to prioritize their time to be accessible to them. In the same way, we need to submit our schedules to our Master Teacher and Mentor, the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to follow Him and His will for us. The Heavenly Father honors those who willingly do this with all of their hearts. He will shower His favor upon those who follow the Lord Jesus. A true student will be where their teacher is, and a true disciple will follow the Lord Jesus! Whom are you following?

John 12:26 “If you want to be my disciple, follow me and you will go where I am going. And if you truly follow me as my disciple, the Father will shower his favor upon your life”

Kind David loved this exceedingly!

As we read the book of Psalms, we can clearly see that King David loved the Lord and His word. You can readily see it in his writings. His heart for God is revealed in each Psalm. He said this in Psalm 119:167 (ESV): “My soul keeps your testimonies; I love them exceedingly”. Notice that it was not lip service. He honored God’s Word with his very soul! He loved God with his entire being exceedingly. This is pivotal because God knows those who love Him with all of their hearts and those who only honor Him with their lips. Matthew 15:8 says: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me”. Let’s make sure that our hearts are right with God. True love and honor is an action of the heart. It’s not hypocritical. Be like David who loved God and His word exceedingly with his entire soul.
