FROM TODAY’S READING(10/23/2019)...
A man and his wife who were on a long trip stopped at a full-service gas station. After the station attendant had washed their car’s windshield, the man in the car said to the station attendant, “It’s still dirty. Wash it again.”
So the station attendant complied. After washing it again, the man in the car angrily said, “It’s still dirty. Don’t you know how to wash a windshield?!”
Just then the man’s wife reached over, removed her husband’s glasses from his face, and cleaned them with a tissue. Then he put them back on and behold — the windshield was clean!
Our mental and emotional attitude has a great deal to do with how we look at things. The whole world can appear pretty bleak if we have a depressed or negative attitude. Yet how much brighter and clearer the world can appear if we have a joyful positive attitude.
Psalms 119:18 (NLT) Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.
Matthew 7:3-5 (NLT) And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
