Three Fingers

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the faith and correcting error, for re-setting the direction of a man’s life and training him in good living. The Scriptures are the comprehensive equipment of the man of God, and fit him fully for all branches of his work.” Philips – The New Testament in Modern English

“’And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.’” Matthew 7:1-5

Zig Ziglar teaches you should never point at another person because when you do although there may be one finger pointing away from you (toward another) there are three pointing back at you. How easy it is to see the error in someone else. Actually, it’s rather self-distracting to do that and helps you compare yourself against others and justify behaviours you know are not pleasing to Him. God sent His only Son to pay the price to save you and me personally. God’s Word helps us deal with the reality and attitude of our own heart and outward actions. We must read it and then choose to listen.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
