Religious rules and rituals can be helpful in worshiping Jesus
Mark 3:1-2 (NKJV) And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.
Dear Wonderful, Teaching, Loving, Saving Father God, it is amazing that the Pharisees were so concerned with their rules and rituals they looked for ways to accuse Jesus for violating them instead of worshiping Him as the Lord and Savior He was!
Jesus speaking to my heart, I believe:
"Religious rules and rituals can be helpful in your worship of Me and can also be a barrier to worshiping Me and to allowing Me to operate in My Supernatural Signs and Wonders. Rejoice in Me in all you say, think and do, worshipping Me in fellowship with other believers and honoring how they conduct their worship services, encouraging each other to be free in allowing Holy Spirit to operate in and through you as you worship Me!"
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ!!!!
