Gods Righteousness
vs. Mans Righteousness
"Then Jesus said to those around Him, 'I tell you the truth, that
THIS man, rather than the other, went home JUSTIFIED before
God. For everyone who EXALTS HIMSELF will be HUMBLED, and
he who HUMBLES HIMSELF will be EXALTED!'"

PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, we know that self-righteousness
is PRIDE, and pride is the OPPOSITE of
LOVE and HUMILITY. So, Lord, please give
us LOVE today. Help us not to condemn
others, or ever think or pray, "I thank You, O
God, that I am not as this man." If we're
critical, lifted up in pride and glad we're not as
bad as others, then WE are even WORSE!
You said, "I will have MERCY and NOT sacrifice." We must spend
time alone with You to learn what this means! Lord, please help us to
LOVE and FORGIVE OTHER men's sins as YOU have forgiven US!
And help us to have mercy upon OTHERS as YOU have had mercy
upon US.--In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
