Choices!

Luke 18: 13

¹³ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

Mac Davis used to sing an old Country & Western song with these lyrics:

“O Lord it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way. I can’t wait to look in the mirror, cause I get better lookin each day…”

No one I know of, will ever just sneak into Heaven.

A person will never get there by being involved in a good church.

Our Father in Heaven will eye up every person, and He will see either life or death.

He will see darkness or light.

More and more, people are finding it hard to be humble.

That doesn’t bode too well for that kind of person.

A.W. Tozier once said… “If there is an iniquitous, unequal, un-atoned, un-cleansed, unprotected sinner in his/her own sin, there’s only one answer;

“God only sees death and hell, and there’s no way Heaven will ever be able to pull that person up.”

On the other hand friends, the person who beats his/her breast, God only sees life…eternal life.

Make no mistake about it, Hell will never be able to pull that person out of Heaven.

So what will your choice be today? Humility and beating your breast, or self centeredness, like all of the rest?
