Matthew 15:13
By this Jesus means that the empty piety of the Jewish leaders was not from God. Almighty God is the farmer of true religion. His concern is with he fatherless and widows, and purity in heart, word, and deed. He did not institute the false system of Jesus’ day. And, as such, that system, or any like it, shall be rooted out and shown for the false planting that it is. The enemy has sown many false religious institutions into this world. They will all, ultimately, be shown for what they are, and fail utterly.
Bible Reading: Psalms 5:1-10:18
Scripture Memory: 1 John 3:22 “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for inspiring us to embrace true religion. Having a practice for life that is based on Truth is such an equitable idea. You are fair with us in that You make the right way plain and available. Thank You for showing us the way to You. We don’t have to waste our lives with the false plants sown in this world by man and the devil. We can live a life that is worth living. Thank You for Your Son, by Whom the gospel has the power to save us. He is so wonderful! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
