Good morning ladies,
THe word of the day is “realpolitik.” Self-righteousness has been going on since, and even before, the Bible was recorded. Some peeps just like to get up in other people’s business and tell them how to live. Unfortunately, most of us have enough hang-ups to keep ourselves busy, and do not really need to worry about others and the way that they are living life. The Pharisees were these kind of dudes back in the New Testament. JC really had it up to here with the way that they were living, and judging others...
"Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.13"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.… ~Matt 23:12-14
My question is: what do you spend most of your time and energy on? Some peeps are so consumed with the business of judging others that they do not take time to look in the mirror. My prayer is that each of you takes a moment and self-reflects upon the things in your own life that God would like to work on. If we spend more time working out our own issues, we will have less time to try to run other peeps’ lives. Live in grace today, and give others the same benefit that God would… an accepting heart.
Praying for you,
MO
