A statement from Blackaby's devotional says that we are quick to question the motives of others but slow to question our own. Why do we do that? Do we consider ourselves holier because we spend more hours praying compared to them?
Heres' the message for June 4, 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holiness is not being pious and righteous outwardly. It means the cleanliness of heart and mind from evil motives and desires.
If one wants to be holy, then one should control himself on what enters his thoughts. Discipline will play a great part in holiness. If you don't have discipline and don't know how to put yourselves in proper order all the time, you will eventually be led astray with evil thoughts that are lurking in everything, ready to jump in once the opportunity arises.
Be vigilant with your thoughts and emotions, they are the vehicles that evil motives and desires are easily borne into completion. Discipline and self control will help you greatly in becoming holy. Take heed of what I say.
