Our Daily Bread

All their works they do to be seen by men.
-Mathew 23:5
An increasing number of antique leather-bound books are being purchased for their covers and not their content. Interior designers buy them by the linearyard and use them to create a warm, old-world atmosphere in the homes of affluent clients. Of primer importance is whether they match a room's decor. One wealthy businessman purchased 13,000 antique books he will never read just to create a library look in his renovated home. Those books are just for show.

Focusing on outward appearances can be a pleasing way to decorate a house, but it's a dangerous way to live. Jesus reprimanded many religious leaders of His day because they did not practice what they preached. They were addicted to receiving praise and feeling self-important. Instead of opening the kingdom of heaven to people, they shut the door in their faces. Jesus said to them, "All their works they do to be seen by men"

(Matt. 23:5).

The Lord calls us to be people of inner substance, not just outward appearance. We are to demonstrate the reality of His presence in us by an attitude of humility."He who is greatest among you shall be your servant" (v. 11).

In living for jesus, our content
is far more important than our cover. We are here for more than show.
-David McCasland

Let my will be lost in God's will,
Ask no question; seek no place;
Render humblest duties gladly,
Showing forth His truth and grace.
- Anon.


Read: Mathew 23:1-12

If God controls you on the inside,
you'll be genuine on the outside.
