Today’s post is for those of us who hate having a beam stuck in our eye, but yet manage by the grace of God to get it cast out. God does not clear our eyes so we can then close them for sleep and dream that our brother will figure out on his own that he has a mote stuck in his eye .
It should eventually become apparent that if you’re usually trampled upon and rent into pieces by others when you speak the truth in love, most likely you’re not a dog or pig but your assailant is. Unfortunately, when this is the pattern over a lifetime, it can result in the destruction of motivation to care anymore about anything that others do or think — even if what they’re doing or believing is searing their conscience.
If someone can’t see he should be appreciating your concern and instead resents it, then you know it’s time to shake off the dust under your feet and move on. As time for this world approaches closer to its end, moving on seems to be all that’s left to do; over and over again.
Hypocrisy is on the rise, just as God warned it would be. It makes sense that those of this world are increasingly judgmental of others.
For example:
More and more couples choose to not have children, but yet so many in this ‘educated’ group believe they know more about training children than those who are parents and grandparents! Then you’ve got neurotypicals who think they know more about Aspergers than even the Aspies themselves!
The list is endless and not necessary for pointing out the importance to remember God’s advice for these end times.
1 Corinthians 6:2,
“Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?”
Matthew 7:3-6,
“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.“
What better eye drops than God’s Word?
