And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? — Matthew 7:3

Most of us are very good at finding fault in others. Finding fault in yourself is considerably more difficult. Before we can instruct others how to live, Jesus tells us that we must first address our own inadequacies and sins. Doesn’t it appear to be rather simple? But we all know it isn’t the case.

Prayer

Father, please forgive me when I am severe, harsh, and judgemental against others. I know there are difficulties in my own life that need the work of your Holy Spirit. I acknowledge that there are routine sins that I find myself justifying more and more. Please, my LORD, pardon my sin and empower me to go past it. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
