Traditions of Men vs Commandments of God

ok, so this year i decided to read my Bible in a chronological order. it's SO interesting this way (i mean, it's always interesting to read the Bible). to get all the stories in the order that they actually happened. that's cool. i totally recommend it. anyway, so i was doing my devotions today and i came across this one situation that occurred between Jesus and pharisees. pharisees werent particularly in favor of (Jesus') disciples' behavior:

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. Matthew 15:2

The Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? Mark 7:5

this is what Jesus had to say about it:

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress (disobey) the commandment of God by your tradition? Matthew 15:3

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men... Mark7:8

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject (disobey) the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Mark 7:9

Making the word of God of none effect (useless) through your tradition, which ye have delivered (followed)... Marl 7:13

ok, so it's clear where Jesus stood concerning this. but i just got thinking, how many traditions or beliefs do we have/practice and are fast to accuse or judge others who dont also keep them, without regarding God's commandments? i mean, there are tons and tons of traditions out there, cultural, family, whatever. there is nothing wrong with traditions, but sometimes it's easy to look and someone and say "why are you doing that this way? dont you know?" and judge someone or accuse them. but do we ever stop and compare our traditions to the commandments of God? do they align? Jesus said that they laid aside God's commandments for their own traditions. i just thought, boy, i need to be careful not to do that. God's word and commandments come first, before my traditions, feelings or beliefs. i know that this stuff is kinda elementary, everyone knows it, but sometime we need to be reminded even of those. well, at least i do, anyway. i just wanted to share this with ya'll. maybe someone else needed to be reminded or something. GOD bless!!!
