This summer, I was challenged to read through the book of John 10 times and then read through the New Testament 10 times. I will admit, I just started that challenge this week. But, God is so faithful, He has already blessed me through His Word. This morning, as I read, something jumped out at me…
He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. -John 7:18
It shouldn’t surprise me, that we are also studying this in my Bible Study. Beth Moore recently said to us, “our exterior life has to match our interior life. We need to be authentic with everyone.”
It makes me consider, how often does my inside match my outside? I want Jesus to be the most important person in my life, but do my words match that? God’s Word says we should love others as we love ourself, but do my actions match that? I want my work to Honor Him and not me, am I accomplishing that?
Lord, help me to speak for you and honor you in all I do.
