Psalm: 71

Meditation: Mark
During Jesus’s ministry and the history of the church there are always those that add their own spin or requirements to what God requires of us. While modern science has shown us the advantages of sanitation, diet, and health, Jesus points out that it is the ‘why’ or the ‘heart’ of the matter that is important.
