Haman is a glutton for honor, but Mordecai gets honor without even looking for it. When honor comes, it doesn’t benefit him alone, but his whole people. The book of Esther defines honor as the recognition of great value in a person.

your Honor...
Today was no ordinary day. It was my mitigation hearing for speeding in a school zone. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. Really? Well, given it was a construction zone, poor sign placement, not normal hours for speed reduction, not having traveled down the road except for 2 times, I had my reasons.

honor and humility
We usually think of honor as something that is earned. It is an honor to receive a Ph.D. in one’s field, or to be given an award for excellence in a particular area of work. The people to whom we most often give honor are those who have received “honors” for things they have done. This leads to a view that the honor we receive is based primarily on achievement. Yeshua offers a radically different picture of honor.

questions to ask yourself
Use these questions to evaluate your day:
Did you consider the honor of your fellow in all your actions?
Did you rise for someone who is elderly and show honor?
Did you take time to honor someone today for his/her role?
Did you do something without seeking honor? Did you do it privately or publicly?
Do you seek to be given honor?
Do you honor those who serve you, in whatever capacity that is?
Do you seek to honor and help the young?
