David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 7th November 2024
A mother tells her five-year-old not to eat a cookie off a plate with six cookies. When she returns, she sees that two of the cookies are gone. “Didn’t I ask you not to eat a cookie?” the mom asks. “Yes,” comes the confident reply. “Then why did you disobey?” the mom asks. “I didn’t disobey. You told me not to eat one of the cookies, and I didn’t eat one; I ate two.”
That’s an illustration of Jeremiah 17:9: “The heart is deceitful above all things.” It also illustrates what the comedic actor W. C. Fields said when asked why he was reading the Bible. He confessed, “I’m looking for a loophole.” It’s a human tendency to see how close we can get to “the line” without actually crossing it. Some people read the Bible that way—to find God’s “lines.” Instead of moving toward God’s lines, we should move toward God Himself. When we are consumed with Him, we will please Him in all things—not by avoiding the bad but by walking in the good.
Read God’s Word in order to love Him, not to avoid offending Him.
The business of our lives is not to please ourselves but to please God.
Matthew Henry
Read-Thru-the-Bible: John 13 – 15
