Focus on the Important Things

S- What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees.Hypocrites! For you are careful to to the even the tiniest income fromyour herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law- justice, mercy , and faith. You should tithe yes, but do not neglectthe more important things." (Matthew 23:23)

O- Focus less on the small things, and focus on the important things.

A-One of the major themes I see in the Matthew is focusing on theimportant things. In church we tend to focus on the wrong things. Weget so caught up tin the rules and what we should do as  a Christian,that we forget what's truly important to Christ. Justice for those whoare being mistreated, mercy for those who need mercy and faith that Godis going to take care up us and others. These are the things thatimportant to Christ, but we forget that sometimes. I need to keep myeyes open to see the things that important to Christ, not just what'simportant to church.

P- God, help to have eyes like you to see the important things in the midst of everything going on in this world.
