Insider - Matthew Sample

Reading: Matthew Chapter 7

Devotional: Doesn’t it feel so good when the people surrounding us appreciate what we do? However, getting there is the hard part because we struggle with rules. We’d rather do everything by our own rules and we would always choose the easy way around. Christ, though, is teaching us that if, on one hand, we want to have a good testimony and a good reputation, we need not to harshly judge those around us and on the other hand, we need to do them just as we wished it’d be done to us. Even more so, we are taught to filter what the world says and search for the Truth. 

If we really want to build something that endures for a long time, we ought to go against the wind. We ought to be the ones walking on the narrow path so as to grab onto eternal life. Today, we ought to be more like Him!

To think about: What are those rules you dislike but know they help you be a better person?
