Fools! Didn’t he who made the outside make the inside too?
Luke 11:40
To live in honor to God only in the externals of life is to miss at least half of everything. This was the foolish mistake of the Pharisees. They were on the right track in a lot of ways, but their inner thoughts were evil.
Living for the Lord only externally is a poor substitute for true spiritual living. The heart and soul of us must be governed by our spirit yeilded to the Lord God.
Heavenly Father, You are not a God who wants lipservice. You are looking for true followers, real disciples of Christ. You demand and deserve loyalty. You are worthy of our thanks and praise for ever and ever! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
