What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
- Matthew 23:23

Lord Jesus, guard me from the trap of meticulous attention to lesser things while neglecting justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Guard me against hypocrisy and move my heart to pursue what truly matters to You.
