What is the hope of the hypocrite...?

Job 27:8-10 NKJV

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain much, If God takes away his life? Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him? Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God?

Shalom! Day #207. Do you know that the Lord detest hypocrites and that He won't listen to the cries of the hypocrites? Let's pray.  Father, help us to be transparent before You and man so that we may not be hypocrites or backstabbers. Create in us a pure heart. In Jesus name we ask and pray, Amen!

In the new testament, Jesus identified the Pharisees as hypocrites because they want people to know that they pray, they do things to be noticed by people. We as believers of Christ, are also hypocrites sometimes.  We tend to do things so that people would noticed what we are doing. We are also in way or another becoming a hypocrite. We tend to say things of what we want to do, but when it comes to doing we fail to do. A hypocrite is a N.A.T.O person, No Action Talk Only. They want people to recognize them, recognize everything they do, but they forget that God is watching everything they do.

Though this kind of people would gain a lot of influence, even if they know any key person,  will he always delight in the Almighty God? Will he be delighted in the ways of the Lord? Will he always call upon God?  Will he allow God to change him, or he would still continue in his wicked and prideful ways? A hypocrite relies upon he wisdom and the ways of the world, but the man of God relies fully on the wisdom and the understanding from God. You don't need human's recognition, but you need God's recommendations.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
