Relinquish control

S - Scripture     

Matthew  19 v. 3  And the Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?" 

O - Observation    

Pride. That's what this verse is all about. The Pharisees were pushing Jesus on a Worldly interpretation of the word of God, an interpretation that fit their needs, verses the Holy interpretation, the one intended by God for us. Why do we (the world) rationalize God's word to fit our needs? I have read recently in a commentary that the Bible is irrelevant now. They simply don't like the rules, it doesn't fit our culture. But the reality is the Bible is even more Relevant today, because its not about the rules,, its about the Gospel. Its about how Jesus laid down his life for us. All we have to do is give up our Selfish Pride, and recognize who's in control.

A - Application  

Am I able to relinquish control? Have I prayed for the Holy Spirit to come into my life?      

P - Prayer      

Jesus, Send your Holy Spirit into my life. Love Will.
