Isaiah 28:7 And these also stagger from wine and reel from beer: Priests and prophets stagger from beer and are befuddled with wine; they reel from beer, they stagger when seeing visions, they stumble when rendering decisions.

I love the way this seems to be a repetition of a statement; as if to make the point more poignant.

It is not just the strong drink and beer which is going to affect our lives, but anything which we allow to take control.

It could be a sport, hobby, computer game; whatever it is we allow to control our lives, takes us away from the truth and we stumble in our decision making. Make Jesus the centre of your life and make it personal!

Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways

I’m sure you ‘ve heard enough people talk about lusting after things and doing your own stuff because it’s what you like doing… but stop and think a bit about how much you respect God…

Do you flaunt things in front of Him? Do you mistreat others in front of Him? Do you shout at others in from of Him?

You do all things in front of God. He knows what is in your heart and in your mind. Stop a while and give it all over to God because He does know and He cares!

Matthew 15:8 These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

When you talk about doing things for God, do you actually go out and do those things? When you talk about doing things for others. Do you do them?

Jesus was tearing shreds off the Pharisees by showing them how much they were “talking the talk” and not “walking the walk”.

God would rather we be casual doers of the word than constant talkers who do nothing.

Stop talking about it and go out and do it today!

Matthew 15:4 For God said, ‘Honour your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

One of the 10 Commandments may well be to honour your parents, but as Jesus reminds us, it meant a whole lot more back in those days.

Moses was not only given the 10 Commandments but a multitude of rules and regulations; he was given them for a reason!

Honour your Mother today. Think of all you have done to her and how much you can stop and do for her instead. Start today and change the world!
