How Hard Do I Strive?

Scripture: Acts 24: [16] So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.

Observation: I’m not sure if I make a deliberate attempt to keep my conscience clear. This would mean I would have to think before I speak and act. That people shouldn’t find fault with my actions because they would be pure.

Application: Think on how I’m honoring God with what I do and say. Make sure I look out for the needs and feelings of others and that my life reflects God’s love. Plan on how to handle situations that come up so I act in a way that is honoring to God.

Prayer: Dear Lord take this self-centerness away from me and replace it with a heart of love. Help me do things that I won’t feel sorry for later and that I will please you today.
