Today's Scripture *June 25, 2010*
Isaiah 29: 13-14
The Lord says:
"These people come near to me with their mouth And honor me with their lips, But their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me Is made up only of rules taught by men.
Therefore once more I will astound these people
With wonder upon wonder; The wisdom of the wise will perish, The intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."
The people claimed to be close to God, but they were disobedient and merely went through the motions; therefore, God would bring judgment upon them.
Religion had become routine instead of real. Jesus quoted Isaiah's condemnation of Israel's hypocrisy when He spoke to the Pharisees, the religious leaders of His time on earth (Matthew 15: 7-9 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, But their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, For they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’” ;(also seen in Mark 7: 6-7).
We are all capable of hypocrisy. Often we slip into routine patterns when we worship, and we neglect to give God our love and devotion. If we want to be called God's people, we must be obedient and worship Him honestly and sincerely.
Lord, we give You our hearts! We give You our souls!
We live for You alone! Every breath that we take, every moment we're awake--Lord have Your way in us!
May we truly worship You with obedient, sincere, honest hearts. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a blessed and Son-filled weekend!
In His service,
April
