Today, we set aside the impulse to evaluate, analyze, or intellectualize this week’s section of Sermon on the Mount. Instead, we turn to prayer, asking God to transform us from the inside out through His Word.  Rather than imposing our thoughts, feelings, and assumptions onto the text, we come before Him in humility, inviting Him to speak what our hearts need most to hear. We ask Him to teach us, shape us, and accomplish within us the work of transformation that only He can bring.
