Psalms 78:36-37 NLT But all they gave him was lip service; they lied to him with their tongues. Their hearts were not loyal to him. They did not keep his covenant.
Are you giving God lip service? Are you praising Him on Sunday, but you have no desire to give Him your heart?
Lip service is when you recognize what He’s done in your life. You see how He’s blessed you, healed you, and protected you, but you still want to live life your way and not His. This shouldn’t be. The goodness of God should lead to repentance, not further rebellion (Rom. 2:4).
Rebellion usually is a lack of trust. We think our way is better than God’s way. We have ways that seem right, but they ultimately lead to destruction (Prov. 14:12). To overcome rebellion, we must renew our minds to believe and trust that God’s way is the best way (Rom. 12:2).
Give God praise with your lips and your heart and watch your life turn out wonderfully.
