When talking about removing the plank from our eye so we can remove the speck from someone else, there are two extremes:
- Becoming inwardly focused, see only our problems
- Trying to help other straighten out their lives without being open to the same help ourselves
How do I get a sober estimate of myself?
A. Look daily into the mirror of God's word
Foolish to just look at the word of God and not let it transform you -
James 1:22-25
B. Pray fervently for God to open your eyes and give you insight into your heart and life
An incredible prayer about searching our heart -
Psalms 139:23-24
C. Be open with those in your life
Be quick to confess sin -
James 5:16
D. Have a humble attitude toward challenge in your life
Let this be our goal - Psalms 141:5
