Ignoring the Camel

Today, as we continue to Prepare 90 Days for Easter, we read Matthew 23 and Romans 8.14-17.

In Matthew 23 Jesus is straightening out the religious leaders who are so proud of themselves.  In the midst of the corrections, He speaks of a passage that has become one of my favorites.  I mention it often because it is one of the biggest hindrances in the life of a Christian and one of the biggest setbacks in the life of  a church.  Jesus put it this way in Matthew 23.24You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!

We have a tendency to make a big deal out of the little things and to neglect the big things.  That kind of misdirection will mess us up in any venue, in all relationships, and will effect every good work that it influences.

Focus today on what is important and don't sweat the little stuff.  Have a great day!
