You know that small speck of dust (or ‘who knows what’) that gets in your eye…
Well…I’ve discovered that things can also get in between teeth and under my tender gums. I learned the hard way. While eating popcorn, a small piece of the corn’s paper thin hull became lodged there. I had no clue or discomfort for a few days. I began to suspect some food was stuck when soreness began.
My next problem was finding the culprit. Usually a routine brushing and rinse with water dislodges small bits of food; not this time. I tried floss but once more got nothing. The problem had worsened from soreness to pain and I feared I might need to see our family dentist. I prayed and tried floss again. That time I was successful.
What will it take to make me aware of the log hidden and lodged in my eye?
“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye (Matthew 7:3-5 ESV).”
Ouch!
Correction is painful but confession brings relief.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 ESV).”

And Now a Word From Our Sponsor, The Treasury of David
Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on The Treasury of David
This work was first published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacle’s periodical, The Sword and the Trowel.
Completed sections were released volume by volume, until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885. Within a decade more than 120,000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeon’s ministry began there, calls this work “Spurgeon’s magnum opus.” Spurgeon’s wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work, this would have been a permanent literary memorial.
