daily prayer

 Good morning! How are we faithing? We as Christians need to stop looking down our noses at everybody else. We need to not think that we have it together and nobody else does. We also need to not look at others and think if we were like them we'd have it made. We are no better or worse than anybody else.  I don't care how long you've known God or have been going to church. Jesus loves us all and saves us all the same way. When you look at those we percieve as "better Christians" be careful to realize they were lost and now found just like us. Are some further up the road spiritually? Of course they can be but it does not mean "better".  Our path is hard man. We all have our own things that get us. We all have inner secrets that haunt us. How we overcome them is by Jesus. If we do not drop these off at his feet like he told us to, they continue to do us harm. I can't possibly expect an accountant to fix my car any more than expect a nonbeliever to act holy. Stop with the finger pointing in a condemning manner! This also includes pointing that finger at yourself.  Recognise wrongs and take the appropriate action in yourself. The point is to not compare yourself to other people or compare them to you, Jesus is our example. Look for ways to improve your own actions. Use the Word as the guide. We are worthy because Jesus loves us and that's all. Doesn't matter what you've done or what has happened. Because of what you've done or what has happened reminds us to remain humble and to help others find the same acceptance from our Lord that we found. With that in mind, "our sins are gone as far as east is from west" takes on a whole new meaning...think and pray on this...

Psalms 63:1-5

O God, Thou art my God;
I shall seek Thee earnestly;
My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh yearns for Thee,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Thus I have beheld Thee in the sanctuary,
To see Thy power and Thy glory.
Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise Thee.
So I will bless Thee as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Thy name.
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
NAS

Revelation 19:5-6
 "Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great."
NAS

1 Peter 2:1-3
  Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
NAS

remember others that we meet. Be quick to offer prayer when we see needs..
 
Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for wisdom from your Word. Help us apply that wisdom to our lives and not to judge or compare us to others. Lord help us lead by example with humble hearts as to knowing we all are unworthy but by your grace we are saved. Teach us to see truth and not superficial junk that draws us away from you. Lord we want to live a holy life with honor that will cause you to say to us,"well done faithful servant, enter my rest"...in Jesus name, amen
