Jesus sure let the Pharisees and Teachers have it.  Telling them how hypocritical they are with their double standards and old traditions.  That makes me sit here and think, how many of us and I say us including me, get set in our ways and do things out of habit or tradition instead of for God.  I know in my past diets I got set in my ways with bad eating habits,  you all know how hard that is to break, I think  bad eating habits are the worse and when you get set on eating the wrong things its so hard to change your head thinking about eating but as Jesus was saying, its not the food we eat that is deviled its what comes out of our heart.  When we get our hearts right our minds should come right into line.  For what comes out of our hearts is what defiles us.  I know I so want to keep my heart right with God,  I don’t want to be like the Pharisees and Teachers, saying one thing and acting on another, we will be so blessed when we keep our hearts right with God.

Daily Devotional

"…choose for yourselves this day whom will you serve…"
(Joshua 24:15, NIV)

Every day, we make thousands of choices. Some choices have more impact on our lives than others. Some require more thought. Some may even require the input of others. Making Jesus the Lord of your life is the best choice you could ever make! However, once you do, you have the opportunity every day to make choices to support that choice. For example, are you choosing to serve the Lord with your attitude? Are you choosing to serve the Lord with your finances? Are you choosing to serve the Lord by what you say? What you watch on TV? What you listen to?

Today I encourage you to examine your thoughts and actions. Choose this day to serve Him in every area of your life. As you submit your ways to Him, He promises to direct your steps. Remember, He has good things in store for your future. He promises to empower you to live the life of victory as you choose Him each and every day.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, today I choose You. Search my heart and mind and show me anything in my life that is displeasing to You. Help me to serve You with my whole heart, mind, will, and emotions. In Jesus' Name. Amen.




I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Andy,
Just a note to say I appreciate your posts and read them every day - I just don't respond like I should to you - or to God. This is a really good one because it IS in our power to CHOOSE to serve God daily. Thanks.
