Pensamento:

“Coloque em prática o que prega!” “Prefiro ver um sermão a ouvir um sermão”. “Viva o que prega!” Nós que falamos abertamente sobre a nossa fé em Jesus também precisamos assegurar que vivemos sob o mesmo padrão que chamamos outros a seguir.

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. Like Paul who gave us this challenging verse, let's prepare to live for Jesus like an athlete prepares to compete in the Olympic Games.

Oração:

Pai no Céu, por favor, ajude-me na minha caminhada a ser constante na minha conversas e que as minhas palavras sejam agradáveis a Ti! No glorioso nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém

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.
