\u201cTheir heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cwith minds set on earthly things.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John 6:26<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Jesus answered them, \u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.\u201d \u00a0Then they said to him, \u201cWhat must we do, to be doing the works of God?\u201d\u00a0Jesus answered them, \u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Psalms 106:12<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.\u00a0\u00a0But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.\u00a0\u00a0But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 33:31<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain.<\/p>\n

Romans 16:18<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites,<\/p>\n

Philippians 2:21<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

1 Timothy 6:5<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.<\/p>\n

James 4:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.\u00a0\u00a0You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.<\/p>\n

How many times do we act this same way? “Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.\u00a0\u00a0But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel”<\/em> \u00a0Where we do not wait for His leading. \u00a0Where our ears are not listening for His guidance. \u00a0Where our heart is set on me, myself, and I. \u00a0When the people asked Jesus what works must we do to be doing the work of God, He said believe in whom He sent. \u00a0But there is more to “believing” than a thought process in our brain. This belief changes us, or should. Scripture today speaks of many who believed but their belief was not heart and soul deep. \u00a0God said to love Him with all of our heart, soul and mind. Give God all your heart, soul and mind. \u00a0Spend time in His word. \u00a0Learn of Him and how to serve Him. \u00a0Love Him more than things of this world. \u00a0Learn to give. \u00a0Learn to love, learn to serve, learn to make disciples, learn to give, learn to hope, learn to grow faith, learn for His wisdom. \u00a0Spend time in His word. Through believing these actions become evidenced; humble service, God honoring, following faithfully, obeying completely, listening fully, waiting patiently, giving generously, praising and thanking continually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
