Psalm 66-69<\/a><\/p>\nDaily Thought<\/b><\/p>\n
We are often challenged to walk our talk, and that\u2019s important. It is hypocrisy if you say one thing and do another. The book of James asks, \u201cWhat good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? I will show you my faith by my works\u201d (James 2:14, 18). What you do must match what you believe. You must walk your talk.<\/p>\n
But the reverse is just as important. You must also talk your walk. What good is it if you live a godly life but never say a word about God?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCarlos sat down to lunch with Jack. \u201cI made a huge decision this weekend,\u201d Carlos shared. \u201cI am now a follower of Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack was thrilled. \u201cWow!\u201d he cheered. \u201cThat\u2019s fantastic, Carlos.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? I wasn\u2019t sure what you\u2019d think.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d Jack looked puzzled. \u201cI\u2019ve been praying for you for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have? Jack, you\u2019re a big reason it took me so long to seek God.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Why? I\u2019ve always tried to live a good life and be an example,\u201d Jack protested.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s just it,\u201d explained Carlos. \u201cYou are a really good man, but you never talk about God.\u00a0 I always figured if you could be good without God, so could I.\u201d<\/p>\n
The apostle Peter put it this way, \u201cIn your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect\u201d (1Peter 3:15). We must explain ourselves. We must talk our walk.<\/p>\n
Come and see what God has done:
\nhe is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
\nCome and hear, all you who fear God,
\nand I will tell what he has done for my soul. ~Psalm 66:5, 16<\/i><\/p>\n
Daily Prayer<\/b><\/p>\n
You entered this world and spoke to me, God. When I open Your Word, I hear Your voice. Your Son, also called the Word, shows me who You are. Your Spirit speaks to my Spirit. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God, teaming up for my salvation. Thank You.<\/p>\n
Thank You, also, for those servants of yours, my friends and acquaintances, who knew You ahead of me. By their lives and their witness, they led me to You. God, use me to introduce others to You. I pray I will live godly and speak boldly and love fully, so that Your gospel will be seen and heard and received.<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n
