"How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You give to God a tenth even of the seasoning herbs, such as mint, dill, and cumin, but you neglect to obey the really important teachings of the Law, such as justice and mercy and honesty. These you should practise, without neglecting the others. Blind Pharisee! Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too!"
Matthew 23:23, 26 GNBDK
Reflection:
God's ways are not our ways and rightly so, while as humans our focus is usually on the external. God looks at the internal. And Jesus makes it very clear that we are not to neglect any aspect of life; as we do our duties and meet our obligations, we are also called to the matters of the heart and mind.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the wisdom and understanding of the plans he has for you. May you willingly submit to Jesus Christ his son, so as to be led by the truth and light. And may his Holy Spirit teach you God's ways. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
