OUR WAY
Today’s Scriptures
9 Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition. Mark 7:9 (NLT)
Today's TO DO
Consider the truths you have learned about the will of God from His Word before you make decisions. (Choose The Jesus Way over tradition.)
Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees about their hypocrisy. They were so concerned about their traditions that they frequently overlooked the Ten Commandments. In this case, the Pharisees were grumbling over His disciples’ failure to wash their hands adequately prior to eating bread. Jesus went on to explain that substituting God’s laws with traditions and man-made ideas was vanity. God looks at the heart. Unfortunately, the church of our day is guilty of similar downfalls. With so many Denominations, Non-Denominationals, Mega-churches, Pentecostals, Non-Pentecostals, and the list goes on, each group has their own way of doing things.
Therefore: Be careful that your way of living does not hinge on traditions set and perpetuated by men. Having traditions is not detrimental as long as “our way” does not infringe on God’s Way. Consider the truths that are in The Word of God when you make your decisions so that you do not follow blindly. Know what is biblical and walk away from the customs that will anger God. The life that you live is your worship and should be holy and acceptable to your King. Let your way be His Way!
