Matthew 7:1–5

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? 4 How 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? 5 You 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.

Prayer:

Praise God that He is the perfect judge. Give thanks that Jesus saves us despite our lack of justice and righteousness. Ask God to help you + someone see clearly both what sins are blocking your vision but also how you can encourage others to greater godliness.
