Having a Clear Eye

Matt 7:1-5
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.


Jesus says here to be careful of judging others. He shows us that we need to have a clear discernment and humility to the Spirit to be able to know the intent of others.

We need to see clearly before discerning onto others. Jesus says to take out our own plank before removing the speck out of others. We need to be humble enough to know our own faults and to remove those of our own before helping others.

Father, I thank you for your grace and mercy on me. I know that you are a good and awesome God. I pray that I be humble in Spirit before you and know of my own faults. Lord, I pray that I not be subjected to my own plank and that I have a clear discernment in the Spirit before helping others. I thank you for this word and for your encouragement through this. I give you honor and glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
