Today’s Topic: The Hidden Person of the Heart
Scripture: …let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. – 1 Peter 3:4, NKJV
Today’s Word
There’s a lot of compromise in our society. People think nothing about being dishonest, making underhand deals, not keeping their word. Then they wonder why they can’t get ahead. It’s because they don’t have integrity. It’s because in “the hidden person of the heart,” their motives are wrong. In their hearts, they’re thinking, “How much can I get away with and still get by?
How late can I come to work and not get in trouble? How far can I stretch this half-truth and not get caught?” Rather than trying to cross the line, a person of integrity is careful to see how far behind that line they can stay. Many decisions we face are simply tests. God is seeing if we are ready to go higher. People may not be watching, but God is watching what we do in secret. How we live in private will determine how high we go in public. Don’t let small things keep you from the big blessings God has in store. Be trustworthy, honorable, a person of your word. Start passing these tests.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that down at the foundation of my life I can be a person of integrity, someone who’s true to You no matter what. Thank You that You see what I do in secret and bless me when I do what’s right. I will not let small things keep me from Your big blessings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: My mother was always in church, always cheering me on. I know I’m her son, but how about cheering on the next generation? Inspire those around you to draw closer to God and to live a life worthy of His calling. We need you plugged in, committed, on fire, being a blessing. My mom, my dad, the early members, they helped bring us to where we are, but they’ve passed the baton. Where are the new mama Dodies? The next generation of faithful, courageous, holy, favor filled people? I know where they are, I’m looking at them. That’s you. That’s me. God is counting on us to carry the torch for the next season. Let’s run well. Let’s run focused. Shaking off things that are holding us back. Don’t live distracted, letting people and compromise keep you from your purpose. Make the most of each day, being a great example for our children and future generations.
