It is easy to say something. However, what we say may not always be
what we demonstrate in life.
We say we love God, but do we?
We say we trust God, but do we?
We say we live for God, but do we?
We say we put God first, but do we?
We say we know God, but do we?
We say we want others to know about God, but do we?
We say we hate sin, but do we?
We say we love our brethren, but do we?
We say we are bearing much fruit, but do we?
We say we love the church, but do we?
We say we sacrifice a lot for Christ, but do we?
We say we give bountifully, but do we?
We say we fight for Christ, but do we?
We say we use our talents for the Lord, but do we?
We say we do, but do we?
First, we should answer honestly. Do we?
Second, we should evaluate how much we do. It is possible to invest just
enough to say we do, but not really be fully engaged.
Example: I sacrifice for the Lord. Maybe I do so occasionally when it
involves a work I am really interested in. Really, however, my sacrifice is
not that much. It is just enough for me to feel comfortable answering in the
affirmative if asked. Honestly, I really do not sacrifice that much.
The doing of something is more important than the saying.
The doing of something is what constitutes obedience.
The doing of something is what bring results.
The doing of something is what pleases God.
The doing of something is the true expression of my Christianity.
The doing of something is what will be approved in judgment.
My friend, don't just say it. Do it.
Saying it may make us feel good.
Doing it will make us true, genuine, and approved before God.
Today, the goal is to really do what we say!
