Proverbs 23:26
"26 Give me your heart, my son,
And let your eyes [a]delight in my ways."
Hosea 6:6 6 "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings."
God does not want us to add our own rituals in worship to Him. He wants us to seek the Holy Spirit and determine to walk as Christ walked.
Those who must have their human rituals to feel spiritual have replaced dedication to Christ with dedication to their rituals that make them feel and appear spiritual. Still, in actuality, they detract from the Holy Spirit, depending on themselves and their actions instead of on Christ.
When our eyes are fixed on Christ, we will do His will and not our own. We will want to consult with Him for everything before acting on our own desires.
Sometimes I wonder how many things we missed that would have been blessings because we did our own thing instead of consulting the Holy Spirit.
1 John 2:27 "But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him."
Ephesians 4:30 "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption."
1 Corinthians 2:14 "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."
1 Corinthians 2:4 "And my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,"
There is no greater counselor than the Holy Spirit!!!!
