S: Matthew 23:3 "So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don't follow their example. For they don't practice what they teach"
O: Jesus was going after the Pharisees and religious leaders who were telling people to do one thing and then they would live another way. He mentions the word hypocrites quite a few times. Strong emotion from Jesus regarding this type of lifestyle.
A: What areas of my life am I telling people to do one thing and I am doing another? What area of my parenting am I being hypocritical in?
P: Jesus, help me today to recognize those areas of my life that are not in alignment with my spoken words. Give me the ability to see how hypocritical I really am in specific areas and then help me to change. IJN, Amen
