Daily Walk Through the New Testament
October 31
Read Romans 2:17-3:18

We live in a world that puts tremendous emphasis on outward appearance. But when we follow the world and put so much focus on what we look like — what clothes we wear, what hairstyle we have, how much we weigh — we forget what matters most. How are our hearts? How are we living? God certainly looks at our hearts (1 Samuel 16:7). He judges them, He sees the problem, and He calls our problem sin. But He loves us and wants to make us holy.
Spend time evaluating your heart. Ask God to help you see your life as He does. God is more concerned with the “inner you” than He is with the “outer you.” Who you are on the inside will be lived out for all to see. Are there aspects of the “outer you” that need to change to match the “inner you”? Don’t let the world distract you from letting God cleanse your heart and lead your steps today.
