Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees again. He makes it a point in the previous verse to tell us that they are the keepers of the law of Moses, but there is more. Jesus tells us that they are not to be our examples for they are proud and do not live a righteous life. He tells them and us this…
Matthew 23:8-12
Verse 12 says it best in my opinion. Our world has been perverted by the devil in such a way that even our so-called good deeds can be used by the evil one to distract us. God wants us to rest on His agenda for our lives, not our own.
If we follow our own plan, we will FAIL! We must follow God’s plan for our lives. What is that plan? Do not worry, do not be anxious, do not be afraid, but instead lean on God’s understanding.
Thank you Jesus. I love you.
Amen.
Shalom.
