"For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh". Galatians 6:13
The 'foolish' Galatians were bewitched with false doctrines. I can understand how this is possible. Just imagine a tradition of hundreds of years - the sign of the covenant, circumcision of the flesh. An outward act was not easily discarded for something invisible - circumcision of the heart.
As a believer, it is foolish also to believe the works we do demonstrates our righteousness. Rather, our works should be as a result of the righteousness of Christ in us. A circumcised heart will lead to righteous acts not the other way round. You can fake righteous act but not a circumcised heart.
#PrayerforToday 13 Nov 2018
Almighty Father create a new heart within me, circumcised with faith and tendered in love. Let my acts be righteous in Your sight. By grace in Christ Jesus. Amen
I pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ).

This passage reminded me of those who glory in the number of attendance in their Church as a demonstration of number of people being led to Christ.
