Bible Reading: Matthew 7:1-12
Key Verse: Verse 3 - “ And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
Key Words: but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Some people can’t see their own faults because they are too busy looking for faults in others. To say the least, these people just don’t get that they, not their neighbor, are the problem.
A woman met with a marriage counselor and abruptly informed him: “I would like to divorce my husband.” The counselor replied, “Do you have any grounds?” She answered, “Why, yes. We have almost an acre.” The puzzled counselor asked her, “You don’t understand. What I want to know is do you and your husband have a grudge?” The woman answered, “Actually, we don’t, but we do have a nice carport.” The counselor shook his head and said, “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but I just don’t see any reason why you should divorce your husband.” The woman answered the counselor, “It’s just that the man can’t carry on an intelligent conversation.”
She was the problem but like some others, she just didn’t see it! May we examine ourselves before blaming others…amen and amen!
