Matthew 7:3-5 (NIV)
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your
brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How
can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all
the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first
take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the
speck from your brother’s eye.
Finding fault in someone else is so easy for most of us.
Finding fault in ourselves is much trickier. Jesus reminds us that we must deal
with the shortcomings and sins in our own lives before we start telling others
how to live. Seems pretty simple, doesn't it? But we all know it isn't.
Thought for today:
Do I take delight in the “gotcha” moments in life?
