Thou shall not lip service...!

Isaiah 29:13-14 NKJV

Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”

Shalom! Day #176. Do you know that most us of drawing near to God like a "touch & go" service? Let's pray. Father, as we draw near to You today, let us not come carelessly. Let us not come with a lip service. Forgive us Lord if we have done this. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips. What is LIP SERVICE? It means TO EXPRESS SUPPORT OR APPROVAL WITH WORDS ONLY AND NOT SINCERELY AND NO ACTIONS TO BACK IT UP. There is a term NATO, No Action, Talk Only. We come to God to worship Him, but with our lips only because our heart is wandering somewhere else. We go to church every sunday to worship,  but for some it's like a weekly routine.  They come, they worship, they go empty because their focus is somewhere else. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be. Many believers,  when they have problems, then only they will begin to seek the Lord earnestly with all their hearts. If no problem, then touch and go service. People are following and doing man made rules and tradtions. Even in the house of God there are traditions to follow and to do, set by humans yet in this there is no wholeheartedness. Doing for the sake of doing.  Worshipping for the sake of worshipping.  Serving for the sake of serving.  In all this, wholeheartedness is not found.

Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden. It's only a matter of time for God to do this marvelous works amongst His people. What would you want to see happen in your life today, call it into existence. And you shall see the wondrous works of God in your life when you begin to seek Him, worship Him, serve Him and love Him wholeheartedly.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
