Hebrews 13:15 (NIV)
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God
a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
In homogenized milk, the fat-rich cream molecules are
dispersed throughout the skim milk so that the liquid is all the same. Knowing
God's wide, deep, high, and long love, made available to us by Jesus, is the
rich cream of our life. God does not want us to allow the cream of His love and
presence to rise to the top, just to be seen by others. He wants us to keep the
richness of His love homogenized into everything that we say and do — all the
same thing.
We are called to use our lips to openly and continually
"speak the same thing" as Jesus' dignity, authority, rank, majesty, power,
excellence, and tender, cherishing, compassionate, loving-kind, merciful
character. This implies being "on the same wavelength" as Jesus, or
being kindred spirits with Him.
Are you homogenized with God?
Dear Lord, help us keep You love throughout our life
evenly. Help us not let Your love just rise to the top but have it be seen
throughout everything we do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
