The honor principle

Our Heavenly Father places a lot of importance on honor.  He wants us to be people of honor.  It says in
1 Samuel 2:30 (NKJV) "30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now the Lord says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed."  So there is an honor principle shared with us by our Heavenly Father via his prophet.  What does it mean to honor our Heavenly Father?  It means that we value him and what his has to say.  It means that we appreciate him and what he has to say?  It means that we respect him and esteem him in our life.  It means that we reverence him.  In other words, we place what he says in greater importance than what our thoughts are on a matter.
