Three fingers back…
There are times when I read through the Word, books about the Word, devotionals, etc, that I just want to copy down passages and send them on to various people who are struggling with particular areas…I just want to say, “look, this pertains to you and your struggles, do this and things will go better…”
I want to be their “counselor, their truth revealer “…pointing my finger at their weaknesses, their “ lack of growth or understanding” from my self appointed pedestal….
Oh, how self-righteous, “holier than thou” I can be….
Then I am reminded over and over that while I may be pointing one finger at them, three are pointing back at me…humbled by my presumptuousness…
While I may want to take the speck from another, I have a log of my own…
The Real Holy Spirit works much better in our life…my job is to encourage, stand beside, build up…learn…obey…
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Matthew 7:3-5
Thank YOU…

Show Us Christ Lyrics, Doug Plank, Bob Kauflin
VERSE 1
Prepare our hearts, O God
Help us to receive
Break the hard and stony ground
Help our unbelief
Plant Your Word down deep in us
Cause it to bear fruit
Open up our ears to hear
Lead us in Your truth
CHORUS
Show us Christ, show us Christ
O God, reveal Your glory
Through the preaching of Your Word
Until every heart confesses Christ is Lord

VERSE 2
Your Word is living light
Upon our darkened eyes
Guards us through temptations
Makes the simple wise
Your Word is food for famished ones
Freedom for the slave
Riches for the needy soul
Come speak to us today
BRIDGE
Where else can we go, Lord
Where else can we go
You have the words of eternal life
