~~~ 2 Kings 24:8-17 ~~~ Psalm 79 ~~~ Matthew 7:21-29 ~~~
...Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.

Jesus says we must listen to his words and act on them.
If want to use any electrical appliance you must first plug it into the outlet.
If both prongs of the plug are not properly and securely engaged
in the power outlet the appliance does not work.
It is impossible to act on something without first listening.
It is through the listening that we are able to determine
what action should be taken.
Previously Jesus warns of listening to false prophets.
If we listen to the wrong message our actions get misguided.
If our actions are misguided for too long
we eventually become disoriented.

Jesus is saying your actions do speak louder than your words to me.
You can preach and proclaim; you can even prophesy
but it doesn't matter if you do not act accordingly.
If you speak of mercy or equality and your actions
are more about anger and prejudice,
then what is the point of saying anything?

You would be better off just going
about your business and not saying anything at all.

I am sure I said this before, but you cannot fool God
with what comes out of your mouth.
with what comes out of your mouth.
He is looking for the evidence that the words
are truly part of the real you...
not the you you pretend to be with your words.
There is a font that is just the outline of the letters,
the inside is empty and hollow.
This same font has the option of being filled with an image.

This same font has the option of being filled with an image.
This might be something to consider next time before you speak.
Are the letters of your words empty and hollow?
Is the space within each letter filled with images of the actions you take?
Are the letters of your words empty and hollow?
Is the space within each letter filled with images of the actions you take?
Which would you choose?
Our actions speak loudly about who we really are.
Our actions are witnessed even when we do not say one word.
What do your actions say about who you really are?
Blessed to have the opportunity to fill each letter of every word
with beautiful images of God's love toward others.
Don't allow the letters of your words to remain empty;
fill them in with your actions.
It will be so wonderful.
~~~Peace~~~
