Grace for your spirit January 15, 2015

Grace for your spirit
Because this people draw near with their words, and honor  Me with their lip service, but they remove their hearts far from Me, and their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote.  Isaiah 29:13

Note that last line, "their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote.  Rote is a routine, fixed, habitual, mechanical course, or procedure.  When we are children we learn things by rote, but there comes a time for us to grow up or we will never "grow up".  If we are 45 years old, still praying, "Now I lay me down to sleep...." it is time to snap out of it.  Spiritual rote will become lip service only.  Let's break out and give our whole heart to the Lord.
