DAILY?READINGS: Deuteronomy 2; Eccl. 2:12 to 3:15; Luke 6:20-49

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. Luke 18:11
For I say…to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. Romans 12:3

Believers who have enjoyed light from God’s Word need to be cautious. A haughty spirit is a real danger. Our attitude will either adorn the doctrine of God and attract people to it, or taint their appreciation and turn people away. If God has revealed some truth to you from His Word, just get on with humbly obeying it, there is no need to condemn others. —Sid Halsband

When, free from envy, scorn, and pride, our wishes all above,
Each can his brother’s failings hide, and show a brother’s love! —J. Swain
