1 Samuel 2:30 Why the LORD God of Israel said, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me for ever… I. THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHOULD HONOUR GOD. 1. By putting his trust implicitly in God's words of promise. 2. The righteous man honours God by cleaving fast unto the Lord when the world is all against him. 3. Another way in which the righteous man honours God is by his ceaseless activity and enlarged benevolence. 4. By his singleness of eye, and his faithfulness unto death. II. HOW GOD HONOURS THE RIGHTEOUS. God honours his saints who commit their souls to his keeping for pardon and reconciliation, by bestowing that peace which passes all understanding. (T. Myers, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. |
