For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.
1st Corinthians 4:20 NLT
A question has been raised concerning living what we believe vs. living what we've learned. Are they the same? If not, does it matter which one we live? Good questions...
I've pondered on it now for awhile and here's what I think. I think we live our lives based on what we believe - about ourselves, about others, and about God, (no matter what it is)... For instance, if we believe we CAN do something - we're right, we can! By the same token, if we believe we CAN'T do something - we're right again, we can't...
However, we do learn a lot of things. You can teach a child that hot will burn. But generally, they will still reach for the hot. It is imperative that we are careful about what we learn and how we learn it, because we must be on guard about what we come to believe.
You see, if we truly believe the Word of God, we will act accordingly. If we don't believe the Word of God, we will act accordingly.
Let's not just talk it. Let's walk it, and live what we believe, and believe so we may live - truly live.
Prayer:
Father,
Quicken Your Word in our hearts and minds. It is living and powerful and rightly divides between soul and spirit. Father, give us wisdom to know what to believe, preferably without getting burned. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
