Thought For Today

(Jesus parable)  “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God I thank thee that I am not the other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.’ ”  Luke 18:10 – 12

Lord, You were trying so hard to get through the to Pharisees when You were here on earth.

They were so righteous and thought they were so much better than others and this Pharisee in Your parable shows us what they were really like.  They looked so good on the outside who would have known.  After all they kept all the laws.  You knew what they were like and this parable shows us that You knew.

The good news is that You came to change them and show them a better way.

Thank You Lord for loving us all in spite of how blatantly bad we are.

Thank You for forgiveness when we call out to You and ask for Your help.

Thank You for Your unconditional love.

Thank You Lord.
