Treat: am i "Honoring" The Lord?

Earlier this morning in a sincere and deepened time of prayer, I found myself searching if I am truthfully "Honoring" The Lord with my life, intents, and motives. As this became my day's search and attentive observation of my actions, moreover the intents and motives behind them, I pursued to be pure before the Lord all the more. Sometimes convicted of not Honoring Him, sometimes succeeding, and sometimes having The Holy Spirit catch then correct me amidst my actions in order to Honor The Lord.

Thank The Lord Jesus Christ for helping and leading us to fulfill our prayers in and for Him!

Isa 58:13-14NLT "Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don't pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the LORD's holy day. Honor the LORD in everything you do, and don't follow your own desires or talk idly. If you do this, 14 the LORD will be your delight. I will give you great honor and give you your full share of the inheritance I promised to Jacob, your ancestor. I, the LORD, have spoken!"

Isa 58:13-14NKJV "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,From doing your pleasure on My holy day,And call the Sabbath a delight,The holy day of the LORD honorable,And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,Nor finding your own pleasure,Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD;And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.The mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Notice the bold portions speaking to the search within myself? Careful to monitor am I pursuing my own interests or Honoring The Lord? Then this is the highlighter, "Honor The Lord in everything you do..." We may insert the definitions of Honor as we ponder this question together. Are you Honoring The Lord?

But now nibble upon this, by Honoring The Lord, Isa. 58:14 NKJV states then you shall delight yourself in the Lord! Well we often pray and encouragingly quote Ps 37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD,And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Right?

Well this provides instruction and reveals not by me, but The Mouth of The Lord has spoken He will, "cause us to ride on the high hills of the earth, and give us the full share of the inheritance promised to Jacob..." When we Honor The Lord in everything we do, we delight ourselves in The Lord; God giving us the desires of our heart!

Honor The Lord=Delight yourself in The Lord=Given the Desires of your Heart (Him becoming our Delight & Desire)

Though I nor this did not start here wanting the end results, God always has a good ending. Start with the pure intents and motives and watch what God gives.

Honor The Lord

Today's Specials Are...on the Menu

Prayze be unto our Creator, Savior, and Life Maker, Jesus the Christ, Son of God! Bless every1one of the "cyber-saints" who we love and are established with in the Faith. I am overjoyed to share with us The Treacher's Treats.

I would like to introduce that Today's Specials Are...my creative format as Menu Titles items that shall be posted. Modeling our ministry after a five-star restaurant or dining experience, we want to serve The Treacher's Treats from a Menu so you will know what to choose and expect for the food and nourishment for your soul and spirit on any given blog entry.

Typically as a key, I will use Main Course or Entree as a posting of the Sunday's Message that we all know I so often do not complete. If there were simply some tasty topics I missed or skipped in the message, I will entitle these side dishes. Appetizers, mmm, will be items that give us leads into the message to come on Sunday or leads into something to come! Sweet-treats or desserts of course will be those points of wrap ups, closings that Christ can use to sweeten the lesson or give to go home with. Drinks and such have not yet been totally defined- probably something to sip or swallow from the Holy Spirit. Last, all other postings and entries will be called "Treats" as meditations, consecrated concepts, leadership principles, scriptural revelations, personal enlightenment, and/or prophetic prayers because The Treacher hopefully shares and serves treats that are eternally, spiritually, and inspirationally yummy for the innermost part of your tummy. And these are all "full course meals" because they would not fit the 140 characters on BCCtreacher's Twitter Tweets or "tweats" pun intended:).

So cyber-saints I will be out here treaching if you like some treats. Sorry if my opening blog was less meaningful, lacking content and depth, but those knowing pastor toran are fully aware of a hearty introduction before the meat. And when treats are served, Ps 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! See every1one @ mealtime.
