CHECK YOUR WORK
I'm getting pretty good at math.That's because some days my grandson Duran and I have a little math session. He does his math problems, and I help him check them over.
As I go over Duran's math, I notice that he understands how to do his problems. In fact, in some area's he's better at it than I am. But occasionally, despite knowing how to do the problem, he gets the wrong answer. He either gets a little sloppy in using the right formula or he doesn't check his answer carefully.
Aren't we all a little like that in our Christian life? We have a good understanding of how to live the Christian life, but we get careless or lazy. We know better, but we fail.
For instance, we know we aren't supposed to gossip. But before we know it, we're roasting a fellow Christian. Or this:we know God wants us to keep our mind and heart pure, but we let down our guard and watch a TV program or movie we know is not edifying.
It's true, isn't it? We all get a little sloppy in how we live for God. Let's be more careful and pay closer attention to our Christian walk. Let's make sure we're doing quality work for our heavenly Father.
Lord, help me to apply Your Word, and move it from my head.
To actions that won't shame your Name but honor You instead.
Scripture Text: Ephesians 5:15 - See that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise.
thanks for the smile today... lol
