What
is the Value of Honor?
͋When we
are prosperous, the value we place on honor hides itself but is there so
that only the Holy One can see it. The American Civil War was caused defending
honor when a Massachusetts man insulted a South Carolinian so Southerner hit
the Yankee with a cane which the US Senate’s website says, “The nation,
suffering from the breakdown of reasoned discourse that this event symbolized,
tumbled onward toward the catastrophe of civil war.” A person’s greatest
element is honor.
͋Jesus
often calls for trials and pain in His children’s lives to create a greater
faith in them even as the Lord tested the Israelites with food as
Deuteronomy 8:3 says, “He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with
manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you
understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything
that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.” NASU When humans we receive pain,
we are tempted to call the Holy One evil but faith accepts the apparent chaos
as the will of the All Mighty as Mike mason said in his book The Gospel of Job,
“The moment we start to think we can discern some pattern to the ways of
the Lord, we draw dangerously near to idolatry.” (pg. 40).
͋ Our
help and enemies are our friends and relatives so that their encouragement
often feels like a curse, but the Lord brings them into our live to remind us
of the necessity of our pain for Her Glory. the Eternal light gives Light and
life to those in the greatest despair and pain as Micah 7:8 says, “Do not
rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in
darkness, the LORD is a light for me.” NASU To the Child of the Holy one it is
faith which is the anchor of reality to hold in suffering so that in jealousy
the pagan world condemns faith, choosing the mind or the occult.
͋ Demons
mock man being right with his creator as angels rest in awe of the Path of
salvation open to humanity. Even demons believe in God and glorify Him. When we
face our own suffering, we must seek the Lord’s face alone disregarding the
accusation of people around us as Job 5:8 says “But as for me, I would
seek God, And I would place my cause before God;” NASU
͋In
darkness, The Holy grants a greater wisdom and incite then the great minds of
the West. Men without honor have enjoyed that lack of rule that build respect
like Sherman and Kitchener burning farms and homes to force a surrender. The
All Mighty made a golem for a groundskeeper and called it “man” but humanity
cannot force the hand of the Lord. The sign that you are a honorable child of
God is His punishment as Hebrews 12:6 says, “FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE
DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.” NASU
͋ Lack
of social justice condemns one’s self, but seeking to help the social outcast
spell success. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest who people call
racist fought for the rights of African Americans after the war but died in
poverty. Rightness is clouded to humanity.
͋ The
Lord may punished his followers for their sins, teach them faith though sorrow
or let them suffer at the hands of them that do not know Him; however, the
Almighty will give them a hiding place named Shalom. Only by the grace of the
divine that one can see the light of holiness even when we cannot see His Face.
Those who walk with the Lord though darkness not seeing His hand know He will
heal and vindicate them. But, each person sins and rightfully is harshly
punished for breaking even the smallest command, but not at the same time.
Those who ingest vial, swine's flesh have wretchedness poured on them with
cancer and other judgments.
͋Wealth
cannot buy wisdom, but wisdom creates wealth. Honor is its own light. In
suffering, the only thing one can keep is honor.
