Today’s Thought “Too Many Words?” G. Ward

Matthew 15: ⁸ ‘This people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.
⁹ And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

I’m very amazed to witness retail outlets at Christmas to see Valentine’s Day trinkets for sale and whereas it appears commendably preparatory, it’s really indicative in knowing American’s appetite for partying and while celebrations of sorts can be good, there can be unsanctioned mixture considered that lends greater distance with Holy God’s standard for those HE made.

God rejects worship where people draw near with their mouth but have hearts far from Him. If more practice of internal desire to live as Christ did – happens, others may be inclined to inquire about our peace and thereafter witness our mouths echoing HIS love for them exists in the same.
