Dear Beloved in Christ,
I often find it remarkable how people present themselves in different ways—sometimes with sincerity, and other times with hidden motives. In Mark 12:13-15, the Pharisees and Herodians approached Jesus with words of admiration, calling Him a truthful and impartial teacher. But their flattery was empty. They did not seek wisdom; they sought to entrap Him. Yet Jesus, in His divine wisdom, saw through their deception and exposed their hypocrisy.
How often do we find ourselves caught up in appearances? We live in a world that values outward success, polished words, and social status, but God sees beyond all of that. He looks at the heart. Our faith is not meant to be a performance—it is meant to be an intimate, honest relationship with our Creator. When we come before the Lord, we must do so with genuine devotion, not just empty words.
Today, I encourage you to examine your heart. Are you truly seeking God, or just going through the motions? Let us ask the Lord to refine us, to strip away anything false, and to make us wholly devoted to Him. He sees you, He knows you, and He desires a heart that is fully surrendered.
In His grace,
Brother Jesse
