DON'T GIVE LIP SERVICE!

I try not to give lip service to my family and friends. I try to live up to my promises!  Sometimes the circumstances make it impossible to keep your word! This is when I confess to them and not tell a lie. 
I say I did my best and that was
not good enough this time.  I am human and not in control of any thing but my positive or negative reaction to my problems. I try to avoid making promises. I do say,
"I will try to do what you want. 
I will let you know if I encounter have a problem. "

The Bible talks about service and many people were assigned to do tasks by God.  I read during one   my Bible study sessions several  scriptures which show people 
who served God for years. They even passed their duties to the 
next generation.

⁴ So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called 
to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”


9 Now therefore, behold, the
cry of the children of Israel 
has come to Me, and I have 
also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress 
them.
10 Come now, therefore, and
I will send you to Pharaoh that
you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
