Today's Verse - Matthew 7:3-5 (KJV)

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

—Matthew 7:3-5 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

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.

My Prayer...​

Father, please forgive me when I am severe, harsh, and judgmental toward others. I know there are problems in my own life that need the work of your Holy Spirit. I confess that there are routine sins that I find myself excusing more and more. Please, dear LORD, forgive my sin and empower me to move beyond it. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

[Yonkers]

Judge no one but in all things pray for those you see are in sin or gossiping so much in church. We need to be lifting up those who are weak in their faith and those who claim to be Christians but they are not. Dear Jesus, save them please. Amen

 

[Florence]

Thank you Jesus for opening my eyes to see what is in my heart. We must know for sure where we are in Jesus and what we are doing and what we are saying. Dear Lord, help us to be honest and pure before You and before others. Guide us through life with Thy Spirit we pray. Amen

 

[Yerkow]

No one is perfect. We sin against God in word, in deed and in thought. We must repent of what we have done against the Lord. He will come to you and forgive all your sins and make anyone of us His dear children. Judge no one but all things pray and let Jesus do the judging.
