Mark 7:1
Jesus got the attention of the Jewish leaders at Jerusalem early on. Their desire to maintain their religious oppression caused them to check these things out. They had a show of genuineness, but it was only a show. It was quite a trip for them to come, but they felt it worth the effort to protect their interests.
2 Chronicles 21:1-24:27
James 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding us that, though we may rest in you, we cannot assume that everything will stay the same. We never know when things may change drastically. But, we do know that we can trust you no matter what. The truth of your grace and love never changes. Your holiness is always constant. You are faithful! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Pray for an elderly couple that have served the Lord for many years.
