Enough Plastic

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."
                                                          Matthew 6:1

We can look all around us today and find that almost everything we buy has plastic parts in it. It's cheaper to reproduce and manufacture the parts and yet we wonder why things don't last like they use too. I can remember buying a drill a few years ago and within a month it begin to smell like burning plastic and then it just died. A tool designed to build and fix things obviously had it's limitations in the work force. When we become molded as plastic, and practice righteousness before other people but don't live as we should when we aren't around others then our integrity comes into question. Your plastic self will only last so long and will soon be exposed for the weakness it really is. We are called to reflect Christ and follow his ways in every area of our lives, not just when people are watching. When we can't be transparent with the truth of our lives God exposes the truth sooner than later and the plastic will become brittle and eventually broken.

Prayer starter: Jesus help me to reflect you in and out of the presence of other people. To live a life of integrity that reflects you all day every day. I want to grow closer to you in my personal tIme so that it is reflected in the presence of others. Let your light shine and not mine.
