Purposeful knowledge (2)
"Why, then, do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, and pay no attention to the log in your own eye? How dare you say to your brother, ‘Please, let me take that speck out of your eye,’ when you have a log in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
(Matthew 7.3-5 GNB)
If I have the knowledge to recognise the "speck" in others eyes, I ought to use the knowledge on myself. Do I also have the "speck"? Or worse, has it become a "log"?
Knowledge ought to be used for self-improvement, not for boasting nor for attacking others.
Lord,
please help me be humble
in everything
