“They come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their gain. “Behold, you are to them like a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not practice them. “So when it comes to pass—as surely it will—then they will know that a prophet has been in their midst.” (vv.31-33)
The prophet Ezekiel spoke to an audience who loved to listen but refused to act. The Lord said to Ezekiel: “Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them” (33:32).
Many so called Christians do the same. O they will come to church, listen to the teaching, even say “Amen,” but when it comes to putting that teaching into practice in there lives, they do not. They simply continue in the ways of their own heart.
Jesus said: “Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And great was its fall.” (Matthew 7:24-26).
May we be doers and not hearers only. God bless.
The Truth: “For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be declared righteous.” (Romans 2:13)
