SCRIPTURE: Amos (NIV) 5:14 Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is.
Titus 1:16 (NIV) They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for doing anything good.
OBSERVATION: What God spoke through Amos to Israel is the same thing God spoke though Paul to Titus 800 years later. And it is appropriate for today in 2020. People claim with their words to know God, but their actions prove they only know about God! They may have said a prayer inviting Jesus to be the Lord of their life, but their actions show that He is not Lord now!
APPLICATION: People cannot see my heart; they can only hear what I say and see what I do. At first, they will generally believe what I say. Then my actions will either prove or deny my words. After getting to know me, they will believe my actions. I want them to see the same thing they heard. I want my words and actions to reveal a heart that truly loves God.
PRAYER: Lord, my actions throughout the day are as important to you as the prayers I pray. When I call you Lord in prayer, help me to live like that is true all day long. Amen.
