"Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, 'Blessed are you of the LORD! I have performed the commandment of the LORD.' But Samuel said, 'What then is the bleating of sheep in my ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear?' "
I Samuel 15:13-14
We all need a reality check once in a while. When I get to thinking I'm doing pretty good at this holiness stuff, the Holy Spirit speaks to me through the preacher and says, "What about this area of your life?" At that point, I am faced with two options: to repent or to make excuses. Sadly, too often I do a Saul and make excuses. All the praise I give to the preacher – "Great sermon, Pastor!" – will not change my life.
Today's Thought: If I listen closely, the Holy Spirit will illuminate areas of my life that need attention.
Have a "reality" day. Love you.
