Scripture: The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” —Mark 2:24-28 Devotional: Remember OUR TRADITIONS are just that, OURS! I often speak about shifting our perspectives and heightening our consciousness. A part of our self-work is understanding the heart of our work. Any law is law, based on the preferences of the people, based on their priorities and beliefs. As a structure, it's important that we uplift the people that “laws” are made for, over the “laws” themselves. This work is not only about being progressive, it's about hearing and following the Spirit when she gives instruction. May the heart behind the whole matter, every matter, be Gods. Let’s follow the heart of God that leads us to break rules. Let’s be holy rebels and place the PEOPLE at the forefront of the “Law” and watch God do the hard work. Centering thought: I am not the fulfillment of the law, Jesus is (Matthew 5:17-20). I am fallible enough to be wrong, and pliable enough to change.
