Judges 8:1-35; Isaiah 29:1-24; 1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:12, NKJV
Despite my warnings the student continued to act out. I said that he was not being obedient. “Obedient? I’m not a dog!” he retorted. Our society values obedience so little that even dogs are expected to behave better than humans. If we want to stand out for Christ, we can start with obedience: to our parents, employers, elders and anyone in a position of authority over us. While the world thrives on rebellion, they will watch us and marvel. —Jeff Frey
Thou my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me;
All along my pilgrim journey, Saviour, let me walk with Thee.—Crosby
