Thursday November 1 2012:
1 Peter
2:1. “So get rid of all malicious
behavior and deceit. Don’t just pretend
to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and
jealousy and back stabbing.”
Do you know any Christians
who “religiously” attend church, give their tithes every week, and say all the
right things on Sunday to others and the Pastor? Are you one of those people? Then when it comes to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
or Saturday the faith is difficult to see?
If we try to live a Christian
life by our own power, we can become a hypocrite very easily. To live a true life as a believer all the
time, we need to change from the inside.
It is impossible to fool all the people all the time and it is
impossible to fool God!
To get rid of hypocrisy and
jealousy we need the presence of the Holy Spirit. We need to pray for an increased desire to be
closer to our Lord and Savior. He will
make it possible to live a life that is pleasing to him, not one filled with
jealousy , back stabbing or hypocrisy.
Prayer for
today: Heavenly Father, I want you to
fill me with a hunger for you, a desire to be close to you and to be rid of
anything that might hinder our relationship, like jealousy or deceitfulness.
Help me to love others just as you do and see their good qualities. I love you , Lord and want your will in my
life. In Jesus name, Amen.
