Scripture:
Matthews 23: 27-28 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. "
Observation:
God speaks to the Pharisees and to the people what is like to be a hypocrites. Living a life of hypocrisy and unrighteousness. He speak of how one's deepest understanding, the where the heart's desire lies is more valuable then words. Words can be meaningless, we say to please and we say things to avoid conflicts. Yet, if your heart is not in an agreement with your words, how hypocrite are you? The image of beauty and innocence can only go so far, if your heart is at a wrongful places in then outer appearance does hold any value. I should know as I have relatives who fall under this hypocrite life style. Where do I fit into all this picture? I may want to and does appear nice and Christ orientated, but do I put into actions and does my deepest heart reflect that? My heart will lead me from the darkness and efforts to live a lawful life within God's law. As the scripture, if I don't believe from deepest of my heart, then anything I may say and do is Godless life.
Application:
Render my heart to God, ask him to cleanse my heart from the deepest and the darkness. Mold my heart in his image. Let him rein on me for I shall surrender to him to mold into the faithful servant and let God move and lead me into the directions and plan he has for me. Let my heart be taken in possession of God's will.
Prayer:
Magnificent Father God, thank you for your words, your honest and sincere words that bring peace and joy into my life. Father God, help me and give me the guidance to apply and live in the direction you have plan for me. Help me to walk in the path you have planned out for me. Father God, take possession of my heart, and mold in the way that my darkness will be washed and over power by your presence and love. Cleanse my heart that I may slowly live in faithful and righteous way, a life in your laws. Father God, thank you for all the blessing you have provided for me and my family and the unconditional love you have for us. You are such a great and big, you cannot contained in small box your love overwhelms and overpowers us. Father God, let us not live our lives in full of senseless and hypocrite life like some, Father we yarn to live more faithful and servantful life. Father God help and lead us to that. You are amazing and your love always keep us to stand up and continue on.
