Read Isaiah 29:13-16
SOAP Isaiah 29:13
Jesus quoted this verse to describe the hypocritical Pharisees in Matthew and Mark. I think He would probably quote it again to describe many people in the church today. Israel had gotten into ritualistic acts of worship that were meaningless to them. How often do we go through the motions, not thinking about what we are doing at church? We must deny the facade and live worship in our hearts, truly seeking a great relationship with Christ.
I pray my heart is always connected to God's and I don't ever want to get into any type of ritualistic worship to where I do it because that's what I am suppose to do. Help me Father to always mean what I say and my actions speak only of you.
