Today I can't take my eyes off of Matthew 23.3 - "So observe and practice what they tell you; but do not do what they do, for they preach, but do not practice."
I believe I'm not alone in knowing people that don't walk what they talk. That being said and coupled with other knowledge I have of scripture, this verse is significant. The last thing that I'd want to be is one who is considered learned but not practiced. Jesus actually said to listen to such, but do not imitate them. Eat the meat and spit out the bones. Nice.
I can apply this to my life in an everyday awareness of myself that I am what I do. I decided a while ago to endeavor to only act in ways that I would if everyone I knew would learn of my actions. I today will reaffirm that behavior.
Father, thank You so much for Your example. You alone are truth, justice and right. Keep my feet from evil today and every day as I endeavor to do Your will and walk in Your way. In Jesus' name.
I missed the last two days on account of computer problems. I did however keep up with the study, just didn't post. Hopefully, I was not missed.
Keep the faith and wear the crown.
Peace is the presence of the goodness of God.
