Read Luke 18:9-14
9 Jesus also told this parable to
people who were sure of their own goodness and despised everybody else. 10“Once
there were two men who went up to the Temple to pray: one was a Pharisee, the
other a tax collector.
11 “The Pharisee stood apart by
himself and prayed,w ‘I thank you, God, that I am not greedy, dishonest,
or an adulterer, like everybody else. I thank you that I am not like that tax
collector over there. 12I fast two days a week, and I give you a
tenth of all my income.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a
distance and would not even raise his face to heaven, but beat on his breast and
said, ‘God, have pity on me, a sinner!’ 14I tell you,” said Jesus, “the
tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went
home. For all who make themselves great will be humbled, and all who humble
themselves will be made great.” [1]
Think
Hold on to Jesus words about the tax collector. God answered his prayer. If you pray for God to help you to be more
like Jesus he will answer that prayer.
Pray
God, have pity on me a sinner!
