Anyone else guilty of becoming a Pharisee on those days when you seem to have it all together? I let my pride creep in so often. I’ve even bragged about it on social media. I think to myself, “Ha! I am killin’ it! I got up on time, read my BIble and prayed, got my teenager to school without yelling, remembered to text a friend a Happy Birthday message, didn’t make that snarky comment I very much wanted to in my 9 am meeting, and calmly handled three work crises…all before noon! I am awesome!”
Thankful for the reminder in Romans today that “none is righteous, no not one.” Certainly not me. Thankful that I have mercy and grace which brings freedom and life. Thankful that I am not a slave to the law, which brings condemnation, because I do not have it all together–good day or bad. I need Jesus every moment of every day.
