People of God, it amazes me how many people can attend church hoping to hear a word for somebody else but they NEVER attempt to hear a word for themselves. These are the ones who will sit in services and holler Amen the loudest when they feel like the word applies to the next person or when the preacher hits on something that they (the listener) wanted to tell someone but did not have the guts to tell them directly! However, when the word knocks at THEIR front door OR steps on THEIR toes, THEN they sit there swollen, tight lipped, with an attitude and will SWEAR that the preacher is talking about them! Not every preacher slangs accusation and slander from the pulpit frivolously! Some DO hear CLEARLY from Heaven and that which they share is FROM GOD for our own CONVICTION and CORRECTION. In short, dont kill the messenger, just HEAR and take heed to the message! Dont make a messenger your enemy just because they tell you the truth. The thing about pride and self righteousness is that people who usually walk IN IT can ALWAYS point it out or see it in someone else but they will NEVER identify it in THEMSELVES because they are too full of SELF to see it! We should NOT be attempting to point fingers and get the speck out of our brothers eye if we have a big two-by-four hanging out of our own. Thats hypocrisy at its finest! Yes, God DOES know our heart and He also knows that it is NOT His divine nature for us to attempt to subtly OR opening judge anothers pride if we have not allow HIM to EXAMINE US to see if it exists in OUR OWN hearts FIRST. This is a season of SELF examination NOT examination of others. If we feel like everybody else needs examining and we have a lock on God, then we have ALREADY MISSED HIM! Let us all take heed. (NOTE: Go in worship services today asking God to show you YOU and not asking Him to show you somebody else! It will do us ALL well in the end!)
