Miller is meant to be an encouragement; not a comdenation. <br /><br />This devotional takes many words to express a common saying you have heard many times, "That person can't see the forest for the trees."<br /><br />Why should we entangle ourselves in the miry pit of the world when the beauty of God's creation is all around us!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by -Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667201139980869656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374252.post-42923699297869897962010-01-15T09:50:02.056-05:002010-01-15T09:50:02.056-05:00Anon-

How do you know whether they have a relationship with God or not? Do you know God's mind and the relationships he has with his creatures? It is foolish to believe we know how people stand with God. Think about Jesus's words to those who knew the Scriptures, observed The Law to the letter and probably believed they knew they were 'right on with God...'. It seems again and again in the Gospels that those who 'look' as if they are doing it right and often the ones doing it wrong. <br /> <br />Perhaps they could be those in good suits, pearly smiles and on every committee, Bible study and prayer group in the church!<br /><br />"...the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God." Lk 18:13 & 14 Sometimes it pays not to look heavenward!<br /><br />I've given up judging by people's outward appearance - I always get it wrong. I try and take my neighbors as I find 'em (though I'm not that good at it yet!)<br /><br />Happy blogging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
