Today's gospel 
 *Matthew 7,21-29* 

*Reflection* 
Most of the time, people use the name of the Lord not for the sake of helping their fellows and following the Lord’s teachings but only for their own advantage and sake. In the gospel, the Lord said that not everyone who speak His name will enter the Kingdom of heaven. This implicates that there is more to following His teachings than just speaking. Listening without action is nothing but an empty vessel and could do more harm to others than it could do good.

 *Prayer*
Holy Lord, I want to follow you: not just in talk, but also in deed. Almighty Lord, I want to reflect your character: not just in Bible study, but also in daily lifestyle. I want to know you by knowing your character, service, and righteousness through living them in my life. In the name of your holy Son, I pray. *Amen* .
