Religious leaders watch You closely, some pretending to be righteous trying to look sincere, but they have vinegar and gall in their hearts. How very sad Father that many play games looking for loopholes to get around being obedient to how You have instructed us to live. Their pride keeps them blinded and they see not the error of their ways. Many fear the reaction of the crowd instead of fearing You Almighty God. Many are at the opposite ends of the political spectrum but they unite in their hatred of Christ. Father, I pray for your children to truly teach Your word no matter what people may think of You. Strengthen Your pastors, elders and teachers to stand firm not wavering or compromising to appease the masses. Father, I pray for a quickening in the souls of Your children to discern the intentions of those who are in their lives so as not to be ensnared or exposed as hypocrites. Help us Father to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Father although You don't have favorites You do have intimate and I long to be one. There is nothing in this world that can satisfy my heart but You the one who created it. May I daily bear witness of Your love so others will taste and see You are good. Amen.
Matthew 22:16 and Mark 12:14
