Matthew 15:1-2, 10-14
Some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they eat a meal." He summoned the crowd and said to them, "Hear and understand. It is not what enters one's mouth that defiles the man; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one." Then his disciples approached and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?" He said in reply, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for a peaceful resolution in the Middle East conflicts.
We live in a time when we are assaulted by so many false prophets. There are so many people concerned with "worshiping the self" or "worshiping enlightenment." We need to be on our guard from Satan's lies.
As I read through today's reading, I could hear Him speaking to my heart: obedience. "Not as I will, but as You will, Father."
Today, let us be ask God for the strength to be obedient in times of temptation from the evil one. Take care and God Bless.
