The Priority of Honor

Apr 27, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Reading: Proverbs 3:5-10


Devotional: Honor begins with recognition. Before God asks for a percentage, He asks for acknowledgment that everything we possess flows from His hand. Today's reading challenges us to examine whether we truly see God as our source or merely our supplement. The "firstfruits" principle isn't about legalism—it's about lordship. When we bring God the first and best of what we have, we declare that He isn't an afterthought but our foundation. Reflect honestly: Does your calendar, budget, and energy reflect God's priority in your life? Pride whispers that we're self-made, but honor responds, "If it had not been for the Lord on my side, where would I be?" True honor moves God from inclusion to preeminence.
