How would you fare if you were in the witness stand?
Your lies might convince a jury—but would they convince God?
LUKE 16:15 (MSG)
So Jesus spoke to them: “You are masters at making yourselves look good in front of others, but God knows what’s behind the appearance.
What society sees and calls monumental,
God sees through and calls monstrous."
SUMMARY SENTENCE

PRAYER
Holy One, you alone are pure of heart. I am grateful that you see into the motives of my heart and still love me. I am often motivated to seek justification by pleasing others. It's exhausting. Help me straighten out my priorities and live to please only you. Thank you for loving me and guiding me to walk in your ways. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
