“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.” [1]
We serve Jesus by following Him. By being where He is! When we serve Jesus, our Heavenly Father honors us.
Let us take Old-Testament Joseph for an example! He honored God even after being sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Even after being imprisoned due to the false accusations of an adulterous woman!
“The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.” [2]
Later, the Pharaoh of Egypt, said of Joseph, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph directly, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” [3]
When we honor God, He honors us.
