what are you doing?

"...but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior." 1 Peter 1:15

She tiptoed quietly in the kitchen at 7am.   While hugging her Papa, she asked him what i thought was a ridiculous question.  Papa, are you eating chocowate?"

He hesitated, and then answered, "Yes, but how did you know?  Did you see it in my mouth?"

"No, I smelled it."

Ah-ha!  He was caught in the act of the do-nots through her nose... do not eat candy before breakfast.

Nothing crushes the power of telling more than the doing.  Our actions can undo whatever directions we expect others to follow.  It reminds me of a little rule i heard years ago... Say what to do, and do what you say.

Father, i am so thankful for You and Jesus.  Not a Word have You given us that You do not stand by.  No matter the circumstances, You don't hide or twist any guidance You've given. You stand by Your Word and in Your Word always. With an unshakeable faith, we can depend on You and what You say.  Never will we catch You doing wrong, but holy in all you do.  In times of weakness or temptation, please help us be holy while being a person of our word.  

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
