“Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.”  I John 3:19  NLT

As strong-willed as Famous can be at times, I know he will sometimes look to me for instruction or affirmation. For instance, he has learned we do not approach every person or every dog we see while walking. The fact is we do not greet most of the people we pass as we respect their privacy. But sometimes people want to say hello or have their dogs greet mine. It is then I will find Famous looking at me to see if this is a friendly and approachable stranger and if I am giving him permission to say hello.

Do our actions show to whom we belong? Do we seek confirmation in making our daily decisions so that we can confidently walk in the truth? If we truly desire to one day stand before God, we must discipline ourselves to seek and obey his commandments today.

Teach me today to obey You, Lord, with confidence.
