Day 322 Proverbs 29:26 Proverbs 29:26 Many seek the ruler’s favor; but every man’s judgment comes from the LORD. People call them sycophants because they are always ingratiating themselves to those in authority. They will agree with everything those in leadership say and do, hoping to be recognized favorably. However, they don’t realize that real people don’t want people who always agree with them, they want people who think for themselves and will sharpen their intellect and prove worthy of a leadership role. As king, Solomon saw many people who sought his favor, and discounted them for their unstable ways. He told the people that true judgment came from God, not man, and it was his favor they should seek. If we should agree with anyone, it should be God. He is never wrong about anything. He isn’t deceitful or a liar. He wrote the law and gave it to Moses and told the people that was how they were to conduct their lives. But more than agreeing with God on the points of the law and the instructions Jesus gave on how to live, we are to put it into practice. You are not to be head nodding Christians who go around spouting scripture but never enacting it in your lives. You are not only to talk the talk, but you are to walk your talk. In other words, put your words in action and fulfill the Word of God. When God calls you to go, you go. When God calls you to do, you do. When God tells you to wait, you wait. Your directions, your instructions, come from God, not man. It is God you are to look to in everything you do. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. (KJV) Psalm 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. (KJV) Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard of me. James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Let your life represent the gospel of Jesus Christ in everything you say and do. They you won’t by currying the favor of men, but seeking to do God’s will for your life. Let’s pray: Father, help me put your Word into practice in my life. Don’t let me just talk about your Word, but let me be a representative of Jesus Christ, fulfilling your purpose for me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen. Copyright © 28 July 2017 by Valerie Routhieaux Image courtesy of Pixabay
