English clergyman Thomas Fuller observed, "He does not believe he who does not live according to his beliefs." These words are most certainly true. We may proclaim our beliefs to our hearts' content, but our proclamations will mean nothing to others of to ourselves unless we accompany our words with deeds that match. The sermons that we live are far more compelling than the ones we preach.
Like it or not, your life is an accurate reflection of your creed. If this fact gives you some cause for concern, don't bother talking about the changes that you intend to make- make them. And then, when your good deeds speak for themselves - as they most certainly will- don't interrupt.
Reflect On This:
What you do reveals what you believe about God, regardless of what you say. When God reveals what He has purposed to do, you face a crisis - a decision time. God and the world can tell from your response what you really believe about God. -Henry Blackaby
