JANUARY 21, 2026—Honor God

Matthew 13:57-58 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

 

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Today’s verses say Jesus was not honored in His own country. Many pastors have looked for ministries away from where they grew up for this reason. However, read it again. Not only was He not honored in His own country, but also in His own house. It may have been that they were too familiar with Jesus to see what God wanted to do through Him.

 

    Many today have walked away from God’s House, the church, and fellowship. They feel they have heard it, seen it, and do not need any more. However, could it be that in doing so, they are not honoring Jesus again in His own house? He just might use them if they stayed.

  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What might He do in our midst if we would
stay in awe of Him and all He can do?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?

 

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
