Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Romans 12:10 (ESV)
Bible Reading Comments
I love the wording of this verse in the ESV. ”Outdo one another in showing honor.” What would happen if each of us made honoring others (celebrating the unique gifts and talents as well as the God-likeness in each) a primary focus of our days. I’m not talking about a “false humility” that looks like the “after you … no I insist … after you” kind of honoring. But rather a genuine celebration of who others are and of the ways that they are bringing glory to God in their lives. My own goal is to be more intentional in recognizing God in others, and in celebrating it by honoring them privately and publicly.
Prayer
Father in heaven, I ask for a fresh anointing of Your Spirit which enables us to see You in others around us. I ask that we will be “celebrators” of the uniqueness of each person, and that we will live in an honoring way in our private thoughts and lives as well as in our public expressions. As we honor others, may You be glorified and ultimately receive the honor which is due to You for being so creative and refreshing with every person you’ve given life to. Be glorified in our honoring I ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
