DAILY READINGS: Joshua 3:1-17; Hosea 11:12-14:9; Luke 20:20-21:4
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers. Luke 20:46-47
The religious leaders wore long robes, offered long prayers, sounded loud trumpets, sat in high seats and demanded the chief rooms. They did all this because they loved to be seen. Yet, what people saw was not what they really were. They were hypocrites. It was all for a show. The Lord Jesus warned, beware. Beware indeed, for there’s a little Pharisee in all of us. —Rex Trogdon
May the mind of Christ, my Saviour, live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow’r controlling all I do and say. —Kate B. Wilkinson
