Joshua 23:11 KJV — Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 22 Apr 2024
When you look around and see how those who proclaim to belong to Christ behave, you cannot but wonder if that is what loving Jehovah looks like. It reminds me of the story of a missionary to India who was trying to evangelise a local. The man responded by saying, yes I would like to follow Christ but I don’t see his character in those who claim to be following Him. That’s a tragic but true verdict. Many who profess to be followers of Christ deny Him by their character and lifestyle of disobedience. They are not like the disciples in Antioch that were first called Christians because they were simply Christlike. If your love of Jehovah is in talking only and not in your walking, then you have got the wrong end of the stick and must change. Let your love for God be seen in how you relate with those who Jehovah created and Jesus died for.
Pray: Divine Spirit of God, help me to love You with all my heart and love others as You love them. #Mok
