Thought For Today

Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, “Why do Your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat? Matthew 15:1, 2

Lord how interesting this scripture would come up today because I just heard David Jeremiah talking about it today on the radio. His insight was interesting and his thoughts made me think of all the things that have changed since I gave my life to You. Oh, no, You never changed but some of the church views changed. What was so wrong way back when I was young is no longer looked at the with the same view today.

Traditions…..traditions are wonderful and often can be very comforting. Sometimes they can even be looked at as a ‘rut.’ A comfortable ‘rut’….that we don’t want to move beyond.

In Jesus day there was a ceremony that went with the washing of the hands before they ate and Your disciples didn’t keep with that tradition once they saw You as their Lord and Savior.

Thank You Lord for moving way beyond the bondage of traditions and laws and giving us a new freedom in You.

Thank You for the peace You along can give us. Oh how we need that peace Lord and it is ours when we keep our eyes focused on You.

Thank You! Thank You Lord.
