LIKE PHARISEES

Proverbs 30:12

"..those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not
cleansed of their filth." NIV


"There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,
and yet are not washed from their filthiness." KJV


Just like the Pharisees during Jesus' time on earth,
there are now people who believe they are pure and
holy, that their lives are a witness to God, and that
they are being blessed by God. They have never taken
the time or effort, nor do they have the humility, to
examine their lives and get close enough to the light
of Jesus Christ to see that they are covered inside
with excrement. If we continually seek the Lord,
accept His discipline, and keep ourselves from the
filth of the world, we will not be deceived, and full of
pride. We will be humble and know our true state
in the presence of the Lord.


Heavenly Father, please forgive us when we begin
to think we have achieved the holiness and greatness
of being your children. Help us to see and to know that
our walk here on earth is ongoing and we need you to
help us keep the filth of the world out of our lives at all
times. Give us pure hearts of humility and love for you
and the desire to be like you. We pray this in Jesus'
name. Amen
