When we live for ourselves and not for God, our efforts are all for naught. Let us not fool ourselves by going through the motions of merely acting like a Christian instead of truly being one.

It is all too easy to disobey the Lord and fail to appreciate His goodness when we only know of Him in our heads and do not worship Him in our hearts. Woe to the disobedient, for disaster follows.

When we are puffed up with pride, we think too highly of our abilities and fail to acknowledge God or search for him. Let us let go of our pride and turn to the Lord, lest we pay the price.

Do we really want to love and serve God? If the answer is yes, then we must follow through and love Him and serve Him with our all.
