Does Your Life Show You Respect 

As I was reading in Eph 5 this morning Paul is talking about how husbands are to love their wives and how us wives are to submit and respect our husbands. So as I drank my coffee I meditated on that and what was really being said. The definition of respect is: think highly of, value, regard, honor, recognize, appreciate, admire, esteem, adore, revere, reverence, look up to, defer to. 

Does my walk with God show how highly I think of him?
What value does it show?
Do I hold it with regard?
Am I honoring in my walk?
Can you recognize that I am a believer?
How much appreciation do I show on a daily basis?
Do I admire the Christ-like qualities I possess?
Do I hold God in high esteem?
Do I show how much I adore him?
I am reverent to him?
How often do I look up to him?
How often do I defer to him?


See in my marriage to my husband I submit and respect him because I love him and want to be pleasing unto him. In my walk with God, I have finally gotten to the same place. The place of beautiful submission and respect to my Saviour who gave his life for me. Who showed me, love, when I couldn’t love myself. Who held me in high esteem when I was at my worst, why? Simply because he knew me before the foundations of the earth were created and had already prepared good things for me. He knew that I would finally hit rock bottom and cry out to him with a true heart. He knew that I would get tired of searching for something to fill the void that only he can. It’s in that place of brokenness that he does miracles in our lives. What miracle do you need God to perform? What is hindering you from being successful today? For years I hindered what God wanted to do with me and through me. Hindered him by not being obedient to what he wanted from my life. I wasn’t being consistent in the small things with God, praying, reading my bible, and tithing. So by not being consistent in these 3 things, I was robbing myself from hearing from God through his word and prayer and then stripping away my financial covering by not giving God my 10%. So after many years of having an on/off relationship with God, I finally succumbed to my own shortcomings and got real with him. He stripped away all my excuses, all my distractions, all my pride. It was at that moment I felt the brokenness I had created in my life, my marriage was broken, my business was broken, my relationships in life were broken. It was at my most vulnerable that God was able to finally break through the atmosphere I had been engulfed in. It was at that moment I felt the love of God consume me and forever changed my destiny. I took it one day at a time, started simply by being consistent with the small things praying, reading, and tithing. Then the floodgates opened up on me and my life, I started sowing the word everywhere I went. I started being a cheerful giver and paying my tithe the minute my money hit our account. I started talking with God about everything, what I should wear, eat or make for dinner. Who we should help, do business with, and then BOOM he started sharing the promises he had prepared for me. What was needed in order to receive these promises and then he started pouring the promises out on me. Why? Because I stop hindering what he had for me and stepped into it like a Boss.
