Matthew 6
Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. v1
Although my focus of recent has been on heart condition, our external behavior DOES matter. This morning the focus is on external behavior that serves to bring glory to ourselves which is NOT what God wants. Verse 1 is further applied in v2-4, 5-6, 16-18. We exist to bring to glory to God not the other way around.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome and amazing God who loves me even though I am broken and sinful. Thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love as I daily miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus of my harsh words of others and help me turn from such sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Please help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
