Colossians 3: 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

[wendelmyer]

Dear Lord, how we give thanks to you for your blessings are so very abundant and we are truly blessed for we do enjoy your mercies everyday. All that we see around us, the sky, the moon, the trees, all the things our eyes take in, teaches us to trust you for the things we cannot see. You are a good and just God. All of heaven and earth is under your control and we are grateful for we serve an almighty Lord and savior. Father be with our President, guide him Lord. Give to him wisdom and the strength to carry out your will. Bless our troops Father. Be with those whose loved one are away from their families. Strengthen their hearts and comfort them. Oh how we thank them for the sacrifices they make for us. Oh Lord let all that we do be pleasing to you. We pray this in your Son’s holy and precious name, amen.

The Pretender

READ: Genesis 27:19-33

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. —James 5:16

When a waitress in Ohio asked to see a customer’s driver’s license, she was shocked when she saw the photo on the ID. It was her own picture! The waitress had lost her driver’s license a month earlier, and this young woman was using it so she’d have “proof” she was old enough to drink alcohol. The police were called, and the customer was arrested for identity theft. Trying to gain what she wanted, she pretended to be someone she wasn’t.

Jacob, in the Old Testament, did some pretending too. With his mother Rebekah’s help, he fooled his dying father into believing he was his brother Esau so he could gain the blessing meant for the elder son (Gen. 27). Jacob got caught after his deceitful act, but it was too late for Esau to receive the blessing.

Pretending goes on in our churches today. Some people put on a false front. They use the right “Christian” words, attend church almost every Sunday, and even pray before meals. They pretend they “have it all together” in order to gain the approval of others. But inside they’re struggling with brokenness, guilt, doubt, or an addiction or other persistent sin.

God placed us in a body of believers to support one another. Admit that you aren’t perfect. Then seek the counsel of a godly brother or sister in Christ.
 

Don’t hide your sin and cover up,
Pretending there is nothing wrong;
Instead, confess it and repent,
Then God will fill your heart with song.  —Sper

Be what God intends you to be—don’t pretend to be what you’re not.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 20-21; James 5
