Hebrews 13:18
Pray for us, for we are convinced that we have a clear conscience, wanting to conduct ourselves honorably in everything. (CSB)

Pray for us, for our conscience is clear and we want to live honorably in everything we do. (NLT)

Pray for us. We have no doubts about what we’re doing or why, but it’s hard going and we need your prayers. All we care about is living well before God.
(The Message)

Right living relieves us of so many unnecessary conflicts. It is much easier to fall asleep and rest well when our souls are free from turmoil. Honorable living is like that, isn’t it?

The author of this New Testament book embraced the good life of uncomplicated adherence to God’s truth and God’s will. This shaped the conduct of all his ways and all his words.

Psalm 30 talks about God’s favor. God’s blessing abounds in those who live lives he can bless. The author of Hebrews and King David agree that God’s best gifts are poured out on those who aim to live honorably in everything.

Lives aligned with the will of God and hearts attuned to God’s grace, mercy, and compassion overflow with abundance. These people understand that God’s favor is not about abundant gifts of wealth for the sake of creature comforts. God’s favor and blessing are gifts for us to share freely without fear of exhausting the source.

We get to live like Abraham, blessed to be a blessing.

The pattern of this verse is instructive. Invite trusted and mature believers to pray that you would live with a clear conscience. Ask them to pray for God to empower you to live honorably in all things. This is the best kind of accountability. We seek to honor God and serve others while inviting others to help us maintain this lifestyle before God.

We live free from doubt and without worry when all we care about is living well before God.

Live a life God can bless. As you freely receive God’s good gifts, freely share them with those who need to experience God’s goodness.

I will live well before God.

Our Father, empower me to live well before you. Surround me with others who live well before you. As your favor enriches our souls, make us soul-strengthening servants freely distributing your grace, mercy, and compassion. Make us ever-more kind and gentle. Bless us so that we may bless others. Amen.

Genesis 46:2-4 During the night God spoke to him in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called. “Here I am,” Jacob replied. “I am God, the God of your father,” the voice said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great nation.

Genesis 41:37-42 Joseph’s suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials.

You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours.”

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt.” Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and placed it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothing and hung a gold chain around his neck.
