Wednesday, August 25: Scripture – Mark 7:5

5 So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”

Prayer Focus: The Pharisees and the scribes see the disciples not living according to the tradition, ie eating with defiled hands. That’s an interesting way to set up the contrast. It becomes a debate about holiness. The disciples are accused of having “unholy” hands because they are not cared for according to the traditions of the elders. What do you think makes something holy? How do you care for holy things versus unholy things? Pray that you might ask questions about your assumptions around holiness today. Pray that you might be open to hearing what God seeks to teach you today.
