“To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.”
Josh Billings (1818-1885)
Isn’t it easy to apply our “standards and measures” to everyone but ourselves? We so easily see the “right way” for others – especially those we are close to. But Jesus told us to check out ourselves before we start telling others what to do. (Matthew 7:3-5; Luke 6:41-42). What “way” am I traveling? Psalm 139:23-24 is a prayer of examination that we should all consider before we start advising others!
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Psalm 139:23-24
