Mt15

What religious "traditions" are we following that are displeasing to God? The religious leaders of Jesus' day actually violated the scriptures in order to keep their traditions! They even felt like they were more "righteous" than God Himself.

Why do we do what we do? Are we motivated by the love of Christ and the scriptures? Do we regularly ask the question, "God, what do you want me to do today?" Are we daily in God's word with listening ears and teachable hearts? Are we more likely to think about politics today than the instructions of Jesus?

We all get trapped in this life by things of far less importance and value. Focus today on listening to God's word and obeying it.
