I don't know about you, but, I find it pretty easy to point out the failures and shortcomings of others. I mean, they have so many, and they are blatantly obvious.
Oh, my shortcomings...do I have shortcomings and failures? I have far more than anyone else I know. If you started trying to list each of my sins, my failures, my lacks, my shortcomings, you would be listing from here to eternity.
Today's word is 2 Corinthians 1012b, NLT, which reminds us of Whom we need to compare ourselves: "...But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!"
It is easy to find other people's failures and to point them out. But, we don't like looking in the mirror and seeing our own. We don't like when others call out ours. We don't like when we see ourselves the way we should - compared to JESUS.
When I read today's verse it reminds me that I don't have time to point out other's sins, I need to ask forgiveness for and to correct mine. I begin to see this more clearly when I start using the right Measuring Stick.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
