Bible Marginalia Series- #270
Luke 18:13
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
Sometimes it is easy to fall in
line thinking I am somehow better
than the next person.
Either by birth, education,
or accomplishments.
The story of the Pharisee
and the tax collector
sets it out pretty plainly.
A prideful heart does not
bode well with the Lord.
I fall so far from the mark.
I cannot meet the demands
of perfection in any way at all.
I give thanks for such great Good News-
of Gospel grace.
"God,
be merciful to me a sinner.
Give me a humble heart in all things.
Let your kindness and mercy
gently pull me back
when I move in anyway to exalt myself.
Give me the grace to fall before you as
you bend my Spirit to your will." Amen.
