Too pious for their own good

Morning: Psalm 72; Revelation 16:1-11

Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; Luke 13:10-17

I remember, during childhood, noticing a woman who was seriously bent over. She probably had a spinal ailment. Imagine not being able to stand up. A religious leader criticized Jesus for healing a bent-over woman on the Sabbath. Jesus said the leader was misguided ... There is never a wrong day to set someone free from affliction. And for the sufferer, today is always the right day to be set free, whether it is the Sabbath or not. Sometimes, religious people can be too pious for their own good, or anyone else’s.
