Matthew 15:8
Jesus said, ” These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honour Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.”
Inspiration.
” Human beings have a natural fondness for pomp, ceremony, and ritual.
There is nothing wrong with that – unless it begins to replace a genuine connection with the the true and living God.
Our Lord wants our hearts (our mind) and not just our lip service, so we must be careful, so that everything we do is out of obedience and love for Him, and not for show.” Quote from Charles Stanley.
Prayer (for you)
O Holy God,
I love You with all my heart, my soul and my mind.
Thank You for Your love for me, and You showed that You love me by sending Jesus to save me, and reconcile me back to You, my Creator God.
And also to make me part of the family of God.
Lord God, Lord Jesus, I give You thanks and praise for Your amazing love and grace, and Your great sacrifice to save humanity – to save me from sin and destruction.
Please help me to be pleasing to You, and worship and serve You with my whole heart, my mind.
O Lord, I desire a close connection to You, and I want to be completely genuine in my Christian life, and not just have lip service.
Please help me to be faithful, and endure to the end, and follow You all the way, so that I can be saved in Your Eternal Kingdom.
Please help me to keep pressing on to glory, keeping going forward in faith, hope and complete trust in You.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray with thanksgiving. Amen.
