Text for the Day -- Luke 11:37-41
----------
While he was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to dine with him; so he
went in and took his place at the table. 38 The Pharisee was amazed
to see that he did not first wash before dinner. Then the Lord said
to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the
dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did
not the one who made the outside make the inside also? So give for
alms those things that are within; and see, everything will be clean
for you.
Devotional
----------
Integrity means having the same truth guiding your outer life that
guides your inner life. Jesus perceived that the religious leaders
had one truth for the outer life - God's and their interpretations,
and another law for their inner life - unredeemed hearts driven by
greed and self-importance. Reflect on your inner and outer truth. Are
they the same?
Prayer
----------------
Help me not be double minded nor to be a person of two truths,
gracious God. Amen
