The gospel today http://usccb.org/bible/readings/121311.cfm reminds me of what God looks at. Yes, words are important and powerful , however, sometimes It’s true that actions speak louder than words. What we say is important, but it should be backed up by what we do.
It is important to walk the talk. Lip service is not enough. In the gospel, Jesus says that the “sinners” who used to act like they did not want to follow God, changed their ways
when John the Baptist came. That was better than those who were “righteous”, the Scribes and Pharisees, who says they follow God but act otherwise.
As we serve, it is important to have a mixture of both – speaking and acting. It is not enough to pray and sing praises to God, we should also get up and act as another way of worshipping and serving God. It is not enough to just do good works, we should also do so for love of God, for his glory.
May today be another day we can start worshipping, serving and loving Him with our words and actions.
God bless!
