Reading – Matthew 7

Highlight Verse:

““Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Before you start judging those who appear to be “swine” remember the verse about the log in your own eye.

That said, there are those who are not in a place to hear God’s Word.

The term “pigs” or “swine” is not necessarily a derogatory term here.

Instead, it signifies the unclean. In New Testament terms, it signifies those who have not accepted Christ’s sacrifice.

To try to force the truth on those people will only backfire.

Love and prayer are the only things I can think of that can break down those barriers.

And, believe me, there are those in my family whose barriers I desperately want to see broken down.

What have you seen break through the barriers of spiritual blindness with those you love?
For whom do you want prayer for those barriers to be broken? (For me, my son and oldest daughter).
