In 2009, I have started a new way of journaling that I have discussed in an earlier blog. I have been journaling through Romans, and this morning I was going through Romans 16.
I came to verse 19 - "But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to see clearly what is right and to stay innocent of any wrong." Those words jumped out at me this morning.
Does everyone around me know that I am a real follower of Jesus Christ? Am I ashamed of being a Christian? Does my life, actions, attitudes, behavior, habits, speech reveal that I am a follower of Christ? At times, I know that I fall miserably short of walking that way with the Lord. Help me to see clearly where I am going in my spiritual walk, and to stay away from anything that is wrong, evil or pulls me away from the Lord.
I ask you this morning: How is your living?
I heard Joyce Meyers say trees don't jump up and down claiming to be an apple tree. It depends on the fruit it bears all can see if it is an apple tree by it's fruit.That was a powerful message Pastor,because we wear crosses and carry a Bible doesn't mean we are really Christian to bad we can't see ourselves as others see us. That might be a wake up call.
