S-Luke 18:14 NIV
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
O-Jesus tells of the tax collector who humbly approaches God proclaim he is a sinner and laying low his head as he approaches God's throne. This was juxtaposed the Pharisee who gave thanks that he was not a sinner and approached the throne with head lifted high. The lesson here is to approach God humbly and contrite looking at your frailities and confessing your sinful self.
A - The application for me is to simply be like the tax collector who though he was a sinner , knew he should come to God seeking his mercy and grace. I am to recognize that I have fallen short of God's best and have made mistakes in my past but I am to come humbly before God, confess my sins and receive His mercy and grace.
P - Dear heavenly Father thank you for your grace and mercy. Help me to reveal all the sin I have committed to you and seek your forgiveness. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen
