"Bring your worthless offerings no longer,How does one know when ritual loses its meaning? What is the indicator that something with a specific purpose has lost that purpose, and is just being done to check a box, or fulfill a tradition? How do you know when you've lost the sincerity that makes ritual have purpose?
Incense is an abomination to Me.
New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies--
I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.
I've been fighting this question a lot recently, in my own life. I appreciate tradition, but despise empty ritual. I've come to worry some of my actions are merely empty ritual, without sincerity. I pray that God will show me if this is true, and if so guide me back to the heart I had.
