Today's Scripture Passage: Matthew 7:3-5
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.
Today's Scripture Message:
One thing is for sure everyone, EVERYONE has fallen short of the glory of God. The greatest example of Christ is that all is welcomed. Once you except Christ as your Lord and Savior you are saved and covered by the grace of God. So how can we, the church, have the nerve to spite someone because of their past instead of being more concerned about their future. You cannot rewrite history but the future is an empty page on an open tablet.
God is funny, he will place a servant near a serpent so they both can serve. The greater the obstacle the greater the witness… as Christians we are responsible to lift another not condemn them. How are we examples of Christ when we lose our consistency dependent on the external conditions someone else may face instead of recognizing the condition of their heart and extend the opportunity for them to get to know God as you have.
Everyone’s experience is different. Everyone was not raised in a church, near a church or where church was mentioned at all. Remove the hypocritical tongue and let words of welcome flow freely from you. Every time you feel compelled to judge someone, remember the mercy that you’ve been shown, the price paid for your life and the content of your existence if Christ decided you were not worth saving. In the words of our Savior “forgive them Father, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). God bless you.
Prayer for the day:
Father forgive me. Help me to always remember I am flawed and my perfection is the existence of you in my life. Hold my tongue and guide my heart that I never feel I have risen so high I somehow am better than my brother or sister in need. That I never overlook the opportunity to share your word, your life and be witness to all that you are, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Thought for the day:
“One should examine oneself for a very long time before thinking of condemning others.”
~ Moliere
Goal for the Day:
