Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When we find it easy to identify the sins of others, God wants us to be reminded of how important it is for us to take a rigorously honest inventory of our own sinfulness. He wants us to deal with our sins before we evaluate anyone else. My responsibility before God is not to condemn others but to condemn the sins and sinful desires I find in me, then live differently, wholly and holy, to honor the Lord God!

My Prayer...

Forgive me, please, dear God, for my sins. Forgive me, especially dear Father, for the sins arising from a critical and judgmental spirit. Deliver me from such hurtful and evil habits. Forgive of my sins, and please bless me as I seek to live for you with faithfulness. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
