Do you feel dishonor?

😠 Do you feel Dishonor?

Do you feel dishonor when you hear a certain president’s name? Maybe it’s Trump. Maybe it’s Biden. Does anger rise up in you, or do you instantly think of a crude joke that makes you laugh? You’re not the only one. Many of us have wrestled with dishonor toward our government leaders—even to the point of hatred. But as believers, we have to ask: what does God say about all this?

Proverbs 4:23 tells us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” To guard your heart means to protect the core of who you are—your values, emotions, decisions, and beliefs—from anything that pulls you away from God’s truth. It’s like setting a watchman over your soul, being careful about what you let in and what you allow to grow. That includes the way we think and speak about authority figures.

Dishonor starts in the heart…

The truth is, dishonor starts in the heart and takes root in the mind. That’s why Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” This world thrives on mockery and division, especially when it comes to politics. But we’re not called to be like the world—we’re called to be like Christ.

How do we respond?

So, how do we respond? We guard our hearts by seeking God’s perspective, not culture’s opinion. We guard our minds by filtering our thoughts through the Word, not social media. And we remember verses like 1 Peter 2:17: “Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.”

Let Honor Be Our Default!

Honoring doesn’t mean agreeing with everything. It means choosing love, humility, and prayer over gossip, hatred, and slander. As Kingdom citizens, let’s be the ones who set the tone—who reflect Jesus even in how we talk about leaders we don’t like. Let us guard our hearts and renew our minds so that honor becomes our default, not our exception.

Let’s be different. Let’s be Kingdom.
