My personal devotional reading yesterday and today have both dealt with the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. This is such an intense lesson in prayer, humility, and maintaining a Christ-like posture as we live out our lives. It not only teaches us how to face our sins, but how we should humbly pray for forgiveness, and how we are not meant to exalt ourselves. Jesus taught us many things, but we never saw him put someone else down in order to raise himself up. He was humble, and meek.
