Today’s Reading:
Matthew 15:1–20 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart.”
(Matthew 15:18)
This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew — The Authority of Jesus (Questioning and Establishing It)
A Thought for Today
Jesus calls us to look deeper than appearances.
What This Means for Us Today
The religious leaders focused heavily on outward practices.
Jesus turned their attention inward.
Our words and actions often reveal what is happening within us. God is interested not only in how our lives appear, but in the condition of our hearts.
Carry This With You
Let God shape you from the inside out.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, search my heart today.
Shape what is within me so my life reflects You.
Today’s Invitation
Pay attention to your words today.
If something unkind rises, pause and ask what may be happening in your heart.
