How can the wrongs of this world be righted? The answer is God. Only God can right the wrongs of this world. He does so by honoring those who honor Him.

And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever. (1 Samuel 2:35 ESV)

The prophet Samuel recorded this statement from God to Eli the priest. Eli, the priest, well his kids messed up and God was not upset that the adults sons messed up, so much as God was mad that Eli didn’t correct the two idiots he called his sons. I want to believe that if Eli did correct his wayward sons in some type of admonishment, God would have had different words to say to Eli. However, God essentially says, “you are a bad parent so there will be no more bad parenting from your family.”

I ask myself, “why would God say this and do something so harsh?” It’s because the world has an innumerable number of wrongs that need to be righted and the very people who needed to honor God, didn’t.

The purpose of their lives hinged on a simple concept honor the people whose wrongs need to be righted by God through honoring God in sacrifice and worship.

How many of us fail to honor God by taking the wrongs of the people around us and compound them before God and the very people you were created to honor?

Thankfully Jesus is the high priest that honors God eternally and we have hope in Jesus’ ability to right out horrible wrongs. We are that risk priesthood of believers, let us honor God with our minds, souls and body by righting the wrongs of people through faith in Christ our Savior.

God honors those who honor Him.
