WHICH FACE DO YOU REPRESENT?

05- 31- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION
WHICH FACE DO YOU REPRESENT?
(Job 20:5) “That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?”
They are the wicked, the scribes and Pharisees, the mockers, the workers of iniquity, the users, the destroyers, the pretenders and we can go on and on… Those are the pictures of the hypocrites and those are the words to describe them and you can picture the works of the hypocrites.
The hypocrites in their giving ministry (Matthew 6:2) “Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”
The hypocrites in their prayer ministry (Matthew 6:5) “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”
The hypocrites in their fasting ministry (Matthew 6:16) “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.” (Job 27:8- 10) 8- “For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? 9- Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? 10- Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?”
