So you think you have problems.....check out Jacob in Gen 27-31. Lying, cheating, deceitful, greedy, stubborn...not exactly adjectives you would think of when reading about one of God's blessed servants.

That is part of the richness and truth of scripture....it is honest and shows the good, the bad and the ugly. God has been honest with us in providing the true nature and being of his servants in scripture....do we in turn live honestly with Him? Or do we gloss over our inequities and short comings? The thing is, God already knows us and what we've done. Confession of sins and short comings cleanses us, see 1 John 1:9.

Challenge yourself to be honest with God in prayer...after all, He has been honest with us.....
