"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." -Psalm 119:11 (NIV)
Poet Maya Angelou once said, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." In order to improve, we have to be honest with ourselves about our shortcomings or weaknesses. Once we know where we need to improve, we can work to get better and do better!
One way that we can get better is to study and learn from God's Word. We can learn from the stories of those that came before us. We can learn from the life and teachings of Jesus. We need to do more than just listen to the accounts or read the words. We need to internalize them, make them part of our hearts and our lives. When we keep God's teachings in our hearts, then we know better. After we know better, we can do better to follow God's will for our lives and to show others God's love!
Learn from God to know better and then act on your learning to do better!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for teaching me. Help me to use what You have taught me so that I can do better for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
