Welcome to our new project, the Daily Bible Devotional. The goal is to help you understand and apply

0:09.6

scripture as you go through a New Testament Bible read five days a week, Monday through Friday,

0:15.5

as we move from Matthew straight through to Revelation. In under four minutes each morning, we will recap the chapter,

0:22.8

make some application, present thought questions for the day, and offer a prayer together.

0:28.5

I'm excited about exploring God's Word with you, so let's get started.

0:34.0

Hey, good morning. Let's look at some of the beautiful content from Mark chapter 7. The Pharisees show up

0:39.9

making accusations against Jesus disciples for not properly washing their hands. Jesus quickly

0:45.6

confronts them about enforcing their traditions on others, while at the same time neglecting

0:50.9

actual commandments. Jesus then explains to his disciples that these accusations are

matters of the heart. If the intentions of the heart are selfish, prideful, and bitter,

1:01.4

then it will show up in a merciless view and application of God's law. Following the educated

her demon-possessed daughter. She begs for his help, and he rewards her faith. Jesus also heals a

1:19.7

deaf man. The leaders who know the law are condemned, and those who do not know it well, but have

1:25.6

humble hearts, are blessed. Here are some things this chapter

1:29.4

is trying to teach us. The contrast between the characters in this chapter is potent. It opens with

1:35.5

the Jewish leaders accusing, being unkind, and enforcing their own rules. They neglected important

1:41.3

laws of mercy, like caring for their parents.

1:49.4

In comparison, the Gentile woman is utterly humble before the Lord so that she can save her daughter.

1:54.6

She is entirely motivated by love and unrelenting in her pursuit of Jesus.

1:59.7

We must be constantly checking our hearts, especially as we grow in knowledge.

2:03.2

We will never be any more worthy than the Gentile woman or the deaf man. We must approach Jesus for help and be willing to carry his spirit of
