Daily Reading

Ezekiel 32-34

Daily Verse

My people come to you, as they usually do,

and sit before you to listen to your words,

but they do not put them into practice.

With their mouths they express devotion,

but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.

Ezekiel 33:31

Daily Thought

It was Rickey's first time in Big Church. He watched everything his Dad did and copied him. When his Dad stood, he stood. When his Dad sang, he sang. When his Dad put a bill in the offering, he put in the change he'd brought from his bank. When his Dad opened the Bible, he pulled his out of his pocket.

Now for the weekly review driving home in the family van.

"Sermon was pretty good today. Got lost in the middle." "Music was okay, except for the last song. That was bad" "I liked the solo."

"All in all," chimed in Rickey, "you gotta admit, it was a pretty good show for a dollar."

He'd watched everything.

Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
--Ezekiel 33:32

To God's Glory,

Daily Prayer

Heavenly Father, everyday You give me a gift. A new day. May I open it each morning with anticipation, use it with joy, and thank You when I lay down at the end. May my life be a wonderful offering to You.

I pray that Sundays will not be a day of worship, but the celebration of 7 days of worship.

Amen.
