Good evening, Beachy.
My grandfather had a ranch in North Platte back then, and my dad was a Navy corpsman in the south pacific.

Just For Show
READ:
Matthew 23:1-12All their works they do to be seen by men. Matthew 23:5
An increasing number of antique leather-bound books are being purchased for their covers and not their content. Interior designers buy them by the linear yard and use them to create a warm, old-world atmosphere in the homes of affluent clients. Of prime importance is whether they match a rooms decor. One wealthy businessman purchased 13,000 antique books he will never read just to create a library look in his renovated home. Those books are just for show.
Focusing on outward appearances can be a pleasing way to decorate a house, but its a dangerous way to live. Jesus reprimanded many religious leaders of His day because they did not practice what they preached. They were addicted to receiving praise and feeling self-important. Instead of opening the kingdom of heaven to people, they shut the door in their faces. Jesus said of them, All their works they do to be seen by men (Matt. 23:5).
The Lord calls us to be people of inner substance, not just outward appearance. We are to demonstrate the reality of His presence in us by an attitude of humility. He who is greatest among you shall be your servant (v.11).
In living for Jesus, our content is far more important than our cover. We are here for more than show.
Let my will be lost in Gods will,
Ask no question; seek no place;
Render humblest duties gladly,
Showing forth His truth and grace. Anon.
If God controls you on the inside, youll be genuine on the outside.
