Focus: The Standard of God

WORD FOR TODAY
You will not have the right assessment of yourself until you evaluate yourself using the standard of God. You are not seeing right until you see yourself as God sees you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"We are all infected and impure with sin. When we proudly display our righteous deeds, we find they are but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall. And our sins, like the wind, sweep us away. (Isaiah 64:6 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jesus spoke of a Pharisee who in the place of prayer evaluated himself using the standard of the life of a tax collector and the sinner around him. He was condemned because he fails to seek the glory of God to see the standard expected of him (Luke 18:11-14). Each time a man evaluates himself with the standard of men; he will fall short of God's Glory.

When Prophet Isaiah had an encounter with God and saw His Glory after several years of serving as a prophet to God's people, he cannot help but to voice out "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts." (Isa 6.5).

You must never compare yourself with anyone. We all have different levels of dealings, relationship, encounter with God and exposure to His word. Don't be eaten up by various religious activities but be more concerned about conformity to the life of Christ the author and the finisher of our faith.

+ By whose standard do you evaluate your life? Are you living up to the standard expected of you by God?

Lord! Help me to always behold your Glory that I may not fall short of your expectations for my life in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis
You will never know how inferior and low standard the righteousness of a man is until you behold the Glory of God!!!

Have a Glorious Thursday!!!
