Thursday's Devotion

I didn't wake up early today. However, when I did get up at 5:15, I
came right to the presence of God.

Hypocrite--an actor; to play a part; to pretend; a person who
professes beliefs that he does not hold; a dissembler; a phony; a
pretender; a beguiler; a cheater; a deceiver; a trickster. Someone who
leads you to believe something that is not true. A person who is
inwardly evil, but outwardly professes to be virtuous.

Jeremiah 17:9
The place of hypocrisy is an easy place for any Christian or
nonChristian to get into. We must daily come to God for examination of
our hearts.

James 1:21-26

If I say, "I'm cool. I'm alright" but I'm really messed up on the
inside; or if I say, "I know I'm a mess" and don't do anything to
change it, this makes me a hypocrite.
