Today’s Bible Verse:
"The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’" — Luke 18:11–12

Spiritual pride can disguise itself as devotion. The Pharisee in Luke 18 stood in the temple, listing his good deeds and comparing himself to others — confident in his own righteousness rather than God’s mercy. This passage reminds us that prayer isn’t a performance but a posture of humility before the Lord. God doesn’t measure our worth by our spiritual résumé but by the sincerity of our hearts.
