Just for Show

Let my will be lost in God's will,
Ask no question; seek no place;
Render humblest duties gladly,
showing forth, His truth and grace.
If God controls you on the inside,
you'll be genuine on the outside...

An increasing number of antique leather bound books are being purchased for their covers and not their content. Interior designers buy them by the linear yard and us them to create a warm, old-world atmosphere in the homes of affluent clients. Of prime importance is whether they match a room's decor. One wealthy businessman purchased 13,000 antique books he will never read just to create a library look in his renovated home. Those books are just for show.

We were addicted to receiving praise and feeling self important. The lord calls us to be people of inner substance, not just outward appearance.
We are to demonstrate the reality of His presence in us be an attitude of humility. "He who is greatest among you shall be your servant"
