No one taught me

Sorry for missing yesterday; work took me out of town for training. I left home about 5:30 yesterday morning and got back to the office parking lot about 5:40 yesterday evening. Then, I had the pleasure of going with one of my nieces to hear about a college she may be interested in, she's a senior.

Listening to the opportunities possible for the young adults headed off to college got me to thinking about being young. An amazing thing happens when we are young. Well, actually, a lot of amazing things happen when we are young but one in particular is on my mind this morning...

Today's word is from Proverbs 20:11, and today, we will use the New Living Translation, which reads, "Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right."

As a child, did anyone have to teach you to lie? Anyone? No. When you were probably as young as 18 months to two years, you knew how to lie - without anyone having to teach you. Your Mom or Dad caught you with something, or caught you doing something, and when they asked did you do it, you immediately replied, "NO." No one taught you to lie, you were born into it.

The word today says that we are known by what we do, even children. People are watching us to see what we truly believe. Our lips may say one thing but if our actions say a different thing, which one do you think speaks loudest?

Yes, no one taught me to sin, it just came naturally. But, if I will rely on GOD and allow Him to direct and lead me, I can be taught better. And, so can you.

Be Blessed,
