How
does God feel about those who call on Him, but do not
worship him, live by his laws, or support his kingdom? How does God feel being
the God in the box who is supposed to pop up whenever a verse is recited by
people who will not commit themselves to live for him every day?
The believer who lives the Christian life, lives his faith each day.
He worships God whom he cannot see and he serves his
neighbor whom he can see. The believer does not live by phylacteries or
quotations in a box.
Scripture tells us that the just shall walk by faith in
God. In business, family, social or public encounters; the just live by faith
not by quotations posted for the public to see.
As believers, we are reminded that God is
with us always. We speak to Him out of the sincerity of our hearts; never for
public display or show. He responds to us not because we recited a verse or
posted it on a social networking page, but because we live by his teachings
daily and walk faithfully in the community.
