A friend was sharing how people need to be more concerned about their walk with the Lord than the walk others have. His illustration was that “You need to look in a mirror when shaving.” There have been a few times that a mirror was not available when it came time for me to shave. That is when I should have used an electric razor. My friend’s statement cuts to the point when Jesus was talking about trying to get a speck out of someone’s eye while having a log in your own eye. When people see believers search your heart and show you what you need to shave out of your life.
Matthew 7:3-5 (ESV)
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.
