Transformation through God's Word

Matthew 7 has Jesus talking to the Pharisees. They asked him why his disciples don't wash their hands before eating. The Pharisees washed their hands, cups, dishes and even dining couches before eating. It was a tradition.

Jesus took the opportunity to quote Isaiah:
"This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

Then he points out that they reject God's commandment in order to follow their own tradition. Moses said 'Honor your father and your mother; and 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die'. But their tradition is if a man tells his father or mother, that whatever they would have gained from you is Corban (given to God) - then they no longer permit that person to do anything for his father or mother. Thus they void God's word by their traditions.

As I think through this I must wonder, what do I do, what are my own traditions which my conflict with God's Word. So, I'm now asking myself and God regularly to point out these traditions in my life which conflict with God's Word.
