The Message For Today (May 21, 2026):
***Listen To Audio Version: Worthy of Glory Audio 555
We live in a world that fails to understand the need and the impact of honor. We forget that opening the door, operating in gratitude, turning that light on, and shining on someone with a massive thank you and gratitude for who they are and what they’ve done, can open more doors than anything you can do on your own.
When honor is on the table, the doors remain open for connection, for trust, for relationship, and for growth. God begins to have his way when there is an openness. God begins to change our lives when we have released every old thing and torn down every wall and decided against all odds to trust Him, to lean in, to not allow the world to tell us that God is not worthy of it.
Or that we just did it on our own, or it’s just nature or science, or whatever reason people will give you for attempting to cut back on your praise and worship. Whatever that weapon is, call it out in the name of Jesus, call it to carpet so that it cannot hide.
Because anything that tries to stop you from praising and honoring and glorifying the Lord is something that doesn’t want you to prosper in the truth thereof. The enemy does not want you to break through into that place of revelation in your life and in your business. He doesn’t want you to do it. He doesn’t want you to break through to understanding the absolute power that is honor, in every season, and in every hour. Especially when we feel overwhelmed and tired and don’t feel like doing it. A little bit of honor goes a long way.
Now, here in the scripture, we have three different verses of scripture, one in Psalm 18, another in Psalm 145, and one in Revelation, and all three are saying that the Lord is worthy, that He’s worthy to be lifted up. He’s worthy to be praised. He’s worthy to be lifted.
We believe that He’s worthy of being praised, but so many people attempt to undermine and attempt to break your faith that they will start to say, “Well, you did the hard work, you earned that,” when you know in your heart that it was the grace and glory of God that kept you in the season, that it wasn’t just you.
And this is not false humility. This is honoring God for His strong arm around you, for His embrace through every season, good and bad, giving thanks in all things according to 1 Thessalonians 5:18. The Lord is good and he’s mighty to save and mighty to deliver. And when we just lean into that gratitude and that thanksgiving in all things, just honoring Him, what we begin to do is set up a new reality for ourselves, and that is facilitated by gratitude, faith, and grace.
It is not rooted in fear, it’s not rooted in doubt, it’s not rooted in being closed off and fearful. It is open, it is loving, it is trusting. It knows that peace that you’re looking for, that grace that God desires to give you, is on the other side of trusting someone. It’s on the other side of opening it up. It’s on the other side of paying the cost if there is a cost financially involved.
All of these things contribute to us growing in our gratitude and growing in our honoring of God. That even though it may not be what we want, it is what it is, and we can be grateful right in the midst of it. We may not have all that we desire right in this moment, but it is certainly coming in season. So don’t grow weary; just keep moving and growing in the things of God.
As we begin to walk through the Word in the scriptures today, bear in mind that these are all about worshiping God, each and every one of them. Even Revelation is all about glory and honor and power, that as we praise the Lord, that we’re also ready to receive. Because when we bless God, he blesses us. When we are obedient to God and walking with Him and trusting in Him, He begins to answer the desires of our hearts.
He begins to break down the fallow ground, and then our lives begin to line up in a way where it reflects the glory, it reflects the peace, it reflects the joy, it reflects the fact that you trust God. It reflects honor. We’re looking for lives and hearts that reflect honor.
And in this case the Lord has called us to bear this assignment, for us to carry this word of praise and honor out into the world. Blessing our mother and father not just in the Spirit but also in the natural for doing the best they could with what they had, blessing those who despitefully use you, even though that does not mean going back into the pain, for you can forgive and release in Jesus’ name.
And so seeing all of that happen and just seeing what God can do for you, just committing to prayer, committing to fasting, committing to all things new, committing to honor is essential. This is the key. As you begin to look at the issues of life, in your life, in your heart and your mind, and in the world, remember that gratitude is the first open door.
The Bible tells us, with thanksgiving, be careful for nothing, but come before his throne of grace and mercy, and that with thanksgiving we can come before and make our desires known of the Lord. So even in prayer, God instructs us to be full of thanksgiving, full of glory, full of gratitude. This is the will of the Father: that we will all step into these massive places of gratitude and inner growth and mindset transformations and just seeing our lives light up because we finally decided to believe that God had His best for us and that we decided to walk in it.
Not just wait for it, but walk in the best, walk in the grace, walk in the glory, walk in the peace. Honoring the Lord your God, honoring those around you, honoring them, even the least of these, for what they have done. Just honor. A culture of honor in your life, in your ministry, in your business, in the next phase of your life is so important. It is so important.
The grace and glory of God is here. And as we come to the end of this devotional, I am praying that everything that you have lifted up before God gets addressed, that everything that you’ve prayed about is taken care of, and that as you leave this devotional, after the prayer, after you leave this devotional, that you carry that joy, that you carry that honor, and you carry it into your day, into every connection you can.
Pouring out honor never gets old, and it only continues to open the flow over and over again.
Closing Devotional Prayer
My prayer for you:
Father, in the name of Jesus: thank you. Thank you, Lord God. Thank you that your mercies are new every morning. Thank you for the fire of God. Thank you that there is no limits to what you can do. You are God alone.
I thank you that the mighty woman of God is aware of this fact and that she’s ready, O God, to go forth in all the places and the things you called her. She is not alone; she’s covered by you. Thank you, King of Glory, for covering the mighty woman of God. Thank you. Thank you, God, for breaking every wall.
Thank you, Lord God, for reminding her that you are with her wherever she goes, that you will never leave her nor forsake her. For the Word decrees, O God, that you will never leave us nor forsake us. So I thank you that the mighty woman of God will learn to prosper, that we’ll learn to walk fully in you, and that we may prosper even as our souls prosper.
So thank you, King of Glory, for the mighty woman of God. Thank you, God, for her blessing, for her being here, and for getting to the end of this devotional. I pray a blessing upon her, God. I thank you for the finishing anointing for those who listened all the way to the end, O God, that they made it to the end. Lord, pour out your Spirit over those who finished this devotional, and they’re now sitting with it. God, bless them with fresh revelation, new ideals, and creativity straight from the throne room.
I thank you for the finisher’s anointing of God. I thank you for the finished work, Lord God. I thank you, Lord God, and I bless you for the finished work. I thank you that we are not going to stop believing and we’re not going to stop contending. Lord, walk with the mighty woman of God. She’s ready to receive it. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
