Speak Truth

Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the One who sent him speaks truth, not lies. John 7:18 NLT 

Jesus just wanted to honor His Father—the One who sent Him to earth. So Jesus spoke the truth. He never lied. Wow—He was human, but perfect. Sinless, including no lying—which is also known as “false witness.” You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor…is one of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:16. Jesus was perfect…no matter how hard we try, we cannot be perfect, but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). That includes honoring God and Christ and not seeking to honor ourselves. Can you do that? 

RSVP: Jesus is calling us to bring glory and honor God, by honoring Him, not ourselves. How will you respond to His call today? 

Prayer~ Jesus, I don’t want to be like the Romans that Paul wrote about… For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools…. Romans 1:21-22. Guard my heart and help me to honor You and the Heavenly Father in all I think, say, and do.
