As we read the book of Psalms, we can clearly see that King David loved the Lord and His word. You can readily see it in his writings. His heart for God is revealed in each Psalm. He said this in Psalm 119:167 (ESV): “My soul keeps your testimonies; I love them exceedingly”. Notice that it was not lip service. He honored God’s Word with his very soul! He loved God with his entire being exceedingly. This is pivotal because God knows those who love Him with all of their hearts and those who only honor Him with their lips. Matthew 15:8 says: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me”. Let’s make sure that our hearts are right with God. True love and honor is an action of the heart. It’s not hypocritical. Be like David who loved God and His word exceedingly with his entire soul.
No te dejes engañar!
Efesios 5: 6 nos instruye a no permitir que nadie nos engañe con palabras vanas. El significado de la palabra vano es bastante revelador. Significa: “Orgullo indebido o excesivo, inutilidad o ineficacia, sin éxito, inútil, sin valor real, inactivo, sin éxito o resultado, de manera irreverente o blasfema”. Las Escrituras nos enseñan que no debemos tomar el nombre del Señor nuestro Dios en vano: Deuteronomio 5:11 (RSV). Las palabras vanas son de naturaleza ilusoria, y carecen de cualquier sustancia real, y en la mayoría de los casos implican un orgullo tonto. Incluso gran parte de los comerciales y el marketing de hoy implican palabras vanas. Esta semana, preste especial atención a las palabras que habla la gente. Encontrará muchas palabras vanas lanzadas sin respeto a la verdad y sin honor a Dios.
Efesios 5: 6 “Que nadie te engañe con palabras vanas …”
