The Heart of God's Messenger" —"Any person that teaches his own ideas is trying to get honor for himself. But a person that tries to bring honor to the one that sent him—that person speaks the truth. There is nothing false in him." — John 7:18 (ERV)
Key Thought:What are you in it for? Why would you want to teach God's word to another? Why would you want to share your faith with a friend? Why would you want to speak out for Christian values? Jesus makes it very simple and clear: the motive of God's messenger is to honor the Father. So let's ask ourselves if what we say, teach, explain, expound, or suggest brings honor to God, or to ourselves!
Today's Prayer:Father, may the words of my mouth and the meditations of heart and the motives for my speech be pleasing to you and bring you glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
