No Actors Needed!

Today's reading is found in Luke 12:1-12. Jesus taught His disciples about the importance of staying pure. The Pharisees, the religious leaders, of that time had learned to go through the motions of serving God. But their hearts were so far away from Him. Yet, when anyone tried to serve God with holiness, the religious leaders got angry and dangerous. They thought only they could reach God. But Jesus encouraged His disciples by telling them of God's great love and care for them. God loved each one of them so much, He even knew how many hairs were on their heads. Now that's love! Jesus even said, "When they drag you into their meeting places, or into police courts and before judges, don't worry about defending yourselves—what you'll say or how you'll say it. The right words will be there. The Holy Spirit will give you the right words when the time comes."

Today I've learned that God takes care of those who believe and trust Him. He's not concerned about those who walk around trying to appear righteous. He's not going to deal with those who think they know everything and are unwilling to be taught. He's not going to waste time with those who falsely acuse others while they fail to see their own terrible mistakes. As long as we stand up for God and allow His words to remain in our hearts, He will stand up for us! As long as we stop living like Christian actors (hypocrites), He promises to handle all things no matter how difficult they may seem. Take note and obey because there's no actors needed here.
