True relationship with God isn’t about religious acts or attitudes, it’s a condition of the heart. We may look as though we are righteous on the outside, but the Lord knows our every thought. When we step outside of a right relationship with Him where we walk and talk with Him daily, we are forfeiting the joy in fellowship with Him that He intends for us to have. We can choose to live like the Pharisees (serious about God, but out of touch with Him) or Simeon the prophet, who held the Consolation of Israel in his joyful hands because he asked God to see Him before he died.
Scripture: Matt 9:4-17, Mark 11:23-26, Exodus 2:1-9
