Today's Reading:
Mark 10:17-18 (NIV)
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
Isiah 64:6 (NIV)
All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

Consider this:
- What is the truth about the human condition?
- What does God's Word tell us about the human "goodness"?
- Do you think you are good?
- Does God think you are good?
Treasure Application:
- When you SEE GOD working in you life, what is the source of the "goodness"?
- PRAYER is communication and like any other form of communication it draws two people together. How does PRAYER help others to SEE GOD in you?
- If those who don't know God see Him at work in your life, might they recognize it as "goodness"?
