Matthew 23:26
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
Audrey P. from Point Pleasant, NJ said:
I love how Jesus reminds us numerous times that it is more important to have right motives on the inside. I think this verse gives an awesome opportunity to reflect the Grace given to us so freely by God....and how you are given a new chance everyday to "get it right" on the inside. It is so great to know that God will meet you where you are and help you each day to "clean the inside of your cup" if you just ask Him, and before you know it the outside will clean itself....God Bless

Matthew 4:20
At once they left their nets and followed him.
Audrey P. from Point Pleasant, NJ said:
This small verse says so much!!! How many times have you prayed for something not realizing that the something you are asking for probably requires you to step out of your comfort zone just a little bit, to take a risk, to LEAVE YOUR NETS AND FOLLOW HIM!!!! I bet the men that were fishing in Jesus' day were also ready for something new....something better, however, they only got it because they were willing to leave there current circumstance, trust Him without explanation, and follow...I know that there is someone out there who needs to hear just that. If you are looking for a greater purpose in this life, if you are praying for direction....you might just need to put down your net....your safety net that is.....and follow Him!!! It might not be easy at first, but I am sure it will be worth it!!! God Bless!

Matthew 1:24
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
Audrey P. from Point Pleasant, NJ said:
So often when I read the story of the birth of Jesus, i can't help but think of what Joseph must have been thinking. I am so glad that he chose to be faithful to God by listening to the angel and taking Mary home as his wife even though he must have been so confused. This verse says to me that even when you don't really understand what is going on, God does. He sees the whole picture from the very beginning and if we are just able to trust him and do what he commands without knowing what will happen next, we will allow great things to happen in our lives and the lives of others. God Bless!!
