Let's take up our cross and put down our critical attitudes. It is impossible to carry both. Religious hypocrites want their spirituality to be seen. Pride is blinding, leading the hypocrite to put on an outward show to win the favor of man, while all the time the Lord knows the bankruptcy of the heart. We love to wear our spirituality up front and obvious, making sure everyone knows how close to God we are.
Public prayers are loud, long, powerful, while private ones are non-existent.
We should be more like this. I would go up into these hills to be alone and rest. One day I observed a lady bringing a young child and setting him on one of the shelves above a smaller cliff. She left the child some food and water. It seemed a dangerous thing to do, since the child might fall and hurt himself.
