"“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. "

Luke 20

"“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. " v46-47

All believers in Jesus must be careful not to try and act righteous outwardly despite an inner heart condition that is sinful.  We must be humble and acknowledge the need for Jesus just as much as anybody else and then we must ask Jesus' forgiveness and ask Jesus to help us turn towards Him and become more like Him.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus You are indeed pure, holy, and blameless.  I certainly am not and I acknowledge I need You .  You are the only One who can forgive my sins and help transform my heart and my life.  You bless me beyond what I deserve and I thank You Jesus but I need You to forgive me for my lust and my selfishness.  Help me be the man You intend for me and help me turn from such sin and help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
