Why Focus on the Faults of Others? And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?…Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. Matthew 7:3, 5.
Why do you focus on the faults of others and yet do little to correct your own faults? The answer is pride. By focusing on the faults of others, you are able to view yourself as more esteemed than you really are. And by directing attention to the faults of others, you think you are elevating yourself. When you do this, you are seeking the praise of people rather than the praise of God. My apostle Peter reminded My followers, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Do you want My Father to oppose you, or do you want His favor beyond measure? Peter went on to say, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time.” When you acknowledge your own shortcomings and repent, you are humbling yourself under My Father’s hand. Though you may lose the praise of other people, you will be praised by God and safely lifted up by His almighty hand.
Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. Matthew 23:12.
Blessings, Eva Isaac Paul.
