Train yourself in godliness (1 Timothy 4:8)

In one of his letters, St. James tells us, "Put the word into practice, and do not merely hear it, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning" (James 1:22).

This is what today's word of God invites us to do. We must practice what we preach. If we have authority over others, we should not ask them to do what we would not do ourselves, but we should help others carry their burdens rather than impose more on them. All our good deeds should be a training to enter into heaven. Acting for the greater glory of God should be the true motivation of all Christian's actions. Hence, the invitation to be humble before others and before our God. Living only for God.

Let us train ourselves in godliness and abandon evil and sin. This is the best way to put the word of God into practice.

Blessed week !
