THE WORD: Luke 6:46

Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

It’s time to examine your heart and ask yourself: Are you just saying you love God, or are you actually showing it through your actions? We often sing songs of worship, saying ‘Lord, I love you,’ but the Bible says, ‘To love the Lord is to obey his commandments’ (John 14:15). It’s not enough to just say you trust God; trust is an action, not just a speech.

In the same way, being thankful isn’t just a feeling; it’s a posture and an action. We need to move beyond just speaking and into action, demonstrating our love and trust in God through tangible obedience. Remember, a believer without instruction is just a doer, but with God’s guidance, we can become doers of His word (James 1:22-25).

Pray with me today: ‘Lord, help me to marry my words with actions, by giving me a deeper understanding of your instructions, so that I can put them into practice, demonstrating my love and trust in you through tangible actions.’ Take a moment to listen to God’s voice, and ask Him to guide you into a deeper level of obedience. Don’t just say you love God; show it through your actions. Get an instruction, get a word of instruction, and marry your confession with action. As Jesus said, ‘If you love me, obey my commandments’ (John 14:15).
