Reading God’s Word:  Mark 7:1-23; Psalm 83

Memorizing God’s Word: Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

Meditating on God’s Word: Mark 7:9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!

Praying God’s Word: “Lord, convict us. We have set aside your commands for our own pleasures. Seeking remodels before seeking your kingdom. Seeking sports before seeking your kingdom. Seeking promotions, plane tickets and pleasure before seeking your kingdom. Father, may we live today and everyday loving others instead of loving ourselves. Amen.”
