Let God Wash The Inside
APRIL 16, 2026
Daily Reading—Judges 8-9 / Luke 12:1-35
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 11:39-40 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
We may have all read this before and wondered why it is that the Pharisees did not clean the inside as well as the outside. When we think of a cup, we might think that it is possible, but how do you clean the inside of a platter? The answer is obvious: you cannot.
When men try to clean the inside of their lives on their own, they also find that, obviously, they cannot. Only God can clean the inside of our lives. Only a repentant, humbled heart, yielded to God, can be cleansed. We can wash the exterior, but only God can wash the sin away from the heart. According to 1 John 1:9, we all need to be run through God’s rinse cycle on occasion.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Have you let God wash the inside of your life, making it fresh and clean lately?
