 Good morning! How are we faithing? We have to be careful we don't put on the appearance of one thing, to please who ever, and do another. We have to remember to think before we react so we can wisely act. an example in the Word is describing just this;

Gal 2:11-16
When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
NIV

Wow! Even the ones who walked with Jesus got caught in that trap. Take note of yourself and how you behave and act. Of course were not talking about being on our "best behavior" in public like Mom used to say, but not changing our faith and being led astray by every whim or new thing out of fear of rejection. This is what we believe;

Acts 13:38-39
"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
NIV

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for my life. Thank you for the grace you have shown. Thank you for forgiving a sinner like me. Thank you for always being where we need you. Lord, help us have a thankful heart. Touch those hurting today and calm those who are apprehensive about life in general. Let us know you are walking with us every step of the day and help us be in tune to the spiritual realm, in Jesus name, Amen
