S - Matthew 23:25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
O - Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees in this chapter and in this verse He is telling them that they are more concerning about their outward appearance than what is on the inside of them.
A - I too need to focus on what is on the inside more than what others can see on the outside. If my heart is right and I am full of integrity, the outside will just follow that and will display righteousness. However, no matter how hard I try to cover up the inside with good action and words, eventually the wrong thinking and wrong motives will show themselves and show my heart. Only with the love of Jesus can I change my heart and follow His example and straighten it out.
P - Heavenly Father, Thank you so very much for sending your Son Jesus to set the perfect example for us to follow. Give me the wisdom and strength to change into that man of God that you want me to be and that my wife and children deserve. Bless my family and me and keep us healthy and safe. Be with our families and guide us through our journeys that you have put out in front of us.
