Matthew 15:8 NASB "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me." I couldn't tell the difference! Today's verse is about being real, not lip service but heart service! I thought it was real but after close examination, I found it to be fake! I thought I had found an old train engine for my hobby. I asked the seller if it was real or a fake, and his reply was "check it out yourself!". It sure looked real and I thought to myself that it was too good to be true. Nothing that old could look that good unless it was faked in someway. As I examined it closer, I found the flaws, little things that a quick look would have missed. The reality was that sometimes a quick look can get us into trouble. Let's take a good long look at our heart and see if we are only giving God the lip service where our hearts are not into it. Let's examine closely where our heart is when it comes to serving the Lord. BTW, He knows what's real and what's fake! peace, tom
