Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
"Pratiquez ce que vous prêchez!" "Je préfère voir un sermon que d'en entendre un n'importe quel jour." "Mettez votre vie là où est votre bouche!" Ceux d'entre nous qui parlent le plus ouvertement de notre foi en Jésus doivent également s'assurer que nous nous tenons responsables de la même norme que nous appelons les autres à suivre.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Practice what you preach!"
"I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day."
"Put your life where your mouth is!"
Each statement has the same goal: following God's will and living under Jesus' Lordship led by the Spirit without hypocrisy and with dedicated faithfulness. Those of us who speak out most openly about our faith in Jesus also need to ensure that we hold ourselves accountable to the same standard we call others to follow. Self-scrutiny and a brother or sister in Christ who holds us accountable and encourages us when we are discouraged are essential if we are going to live faithfully what we say we believe. Let's prepare to live for Jesus like an athlete prepares to compete in the Olympic Games.
Ma Prière...
Père céleste, aidez- moi à ce que mon chemin soit cohérent avec mon discours et que mon discours vous plaise toujours! Au nom glorieux de Jésus, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Father in Heaven, please help me with the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit within me. I want my walk with Jesus to be consistent with my talk about him and what I say I believe. May my talk and walk always be pleasing to you, a blessing to others, and an honor to my Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
