Whether we agree with someone or not; whether we think they deserve honor or not, it is up to us to be honorable to everybody we meet. We owe it. Everybody, whether they are saints or sinners, should be honored because they are children of the Most High. They belong to God. If you speak disrespectfully to someone, you're dishonoring God's child. If we realize who we belong to, it would be much easier to honor the people around us.
Honor is worth a lot. An honorable man is better than a rich man. Someone who's word is solid and true. Let's be honorable people and show respect to our brother's and sister's in everything we do. Trust me, I'm working on it too. I don't have it down yet...I have to constantly apologize for speaking to people disrespectfully. The point is - make an effort. Make it a lifestyle to be a person of honor. Humble yourself.
Honor isn't just about showing respect to someone greater than yourself. It's about showing respect to everyone. Even the lowest person. Get low, and God will raise you up.
