Matthew 15:1-20
Inspired thots:
Man tends to look at the outward appearance while God looks at the inward (heart & soul).
Man is satisfied when the outside 'frills' are pleasing while God grieves over the inward condition of man.
Man sets up high walls around himself, building 'ivory palaces' to satiate his appetite for fame and fortune, while God wants His beloved people to break down any barrier between Him and them for closer fellowship and deeper relationship.
It's not the outward cleansing God desires, but the inward purity of the heart, mind and soul; truly only then, can I 'love the Lord with all my heart, with all my mind and with all my soul' (Luke 12:30)
