Vain Expression


Emoji devotional for Sunday 22, November, 2020

Highlight: He looked around to make sure no one else was there. Then he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.  Exodus 2:12

What are your actions to get known for riches and honour, what about your thought and feelings, do they show only your facial expressions because of approval from relevant people around you?

Have you ever thought of seeking first on God's approval? God will not need those extreme expressions on your face to accomplish his plans for you.  No one can help God to get things done through their feelings. 

In our highlighted Verse today Moses will kill another man to get acceptable by his people just like today's folks who wants to trend on social media for anything. In the end Moses was rejected by his own people. It didn't worked. Exodus 2:12-14

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matthew 6:27?

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:32

God knows you need special attention and He would love to hand them over to you. You must  first acknowledge God for all you need and get his approval. It is like going to the hospital to seek the doctor's counsel. A doctor's prescription would be required and not every drug will work for every patient in the hospital ward. 

God wants you to learn these things. His ways are the best so we will not end up in depression or suicide like vain chasers because of seeking to gain the whole world to ourselves. Someday we will not be needing those likes and followers on social media anymore?

But love and joy,  patience, kindness, to show goodness, faithfulness, to be gentle and have self-control will put you in the edge of eternal life in story to be told. Galatians 5:22. You should first consider doing to others as you want others do to you.

Of course Jesus said "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 14:15

So what are your expectations in life? How do you show them and how do you express your feelings to others? Before you were long due for  likes and social media trend  could you just follow the right prescription and do what Jesus commands first...

"But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you." Matthew 6:33

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

Prayer: Help Lord. Your approval is better than millions of likes from random people. Give me grace to be concerned about your kingdom and what has your approval. Amen.
