Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.Matthew 7:5
One of the major problems in all types conditions people find themselves in is the refusal to "take the beam out of their owns eyes first so that they can see the true situation". In this short article we will cover a few things concerning that and hope that it may bring some changes to our lives.
Relationships
Many of us experience difficulties in our relationships because of that very truth the Bible speaks off. Imagine if when we had a problem with others we took the time to hear their arguments not for the sake of debunking it, but for the purpose of understanding them. It would help greatly . The problem with our relationship is that we always think we are right and the other is wrong, but we should take the time and analyze our own position . By truly analyzing our position we may uncover that we may not been right after all and have been blinded by our pride. Once we realize we are wrong we should then have the courage to apologize to the other.
Poverty
Being in poverty is another aspect of which we need to take the beam out of our own eyes before
we blame others. A lot of people feel better by blaming others for their misfortunes when in fact they are a lot of times partly responsible for their conditions. We do not choose the conditions we are born into but we have choices to a certain degree to the conditions we remain in. A perfect example is the Haitian revolution. The Haitians were enslaved by the French for hundreds of years and many were just resigning to the fact that they were born into slavery and the system was against them , that there was nothing they could do. That mindset was responsible for the continuation of their plight until a new generation arose and took the beam of despair from their eyes and said we had no choice in how we were born , but we will decide on how we live and as the saying goes the rest is history. Haiti became the first independent black nation in the world. So you see friends if you find yourself in poverty do not keep yourselves in that state by blaming the system, your environment ,etc... Take the beam out of your eyes and then you will be in a better condition to see your way out .
The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36"So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.John 8:36
Practical
So friends the Bible is a spiritual book with many practical instructions. Jesus states if the Son free us ,we shall be free indeed. Let us start the process by first looking inwardly to see if the situations we may be in are because of the beam in our eyes before we go around blaming others.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7
