6:46 "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you? 6:47 Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 6:48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 6:49 But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great." I meditate daily, usually about 5:00 a.m. when the house is quiet, before the kids are up, before anyone is up! This verse, above, is always good food for meditation. "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you?" Why indeed!
There are so many of us "professing Christians" who say "Lord, Lord.." every day, and still fail to follow His precepts. We pridefully want things our OWN way, we want to decide what is right, what is moral, what is acceptable. The Ten Commandments long ago became the Ten Suggestions for many of us. What about you?
