"Do not say in your heart when the Lord your God ahs driven them out before you, 'Because of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess this land; but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is dispossessing them before you."
This verse speaks much truth into my life because it shows that we should not believe ourselves to be righteous in anything except that through which Christ has done in us. While the verse does talk about the Lord driving out the other nations for Israel this was still in the midst where Israel was still disobeying God. All cultures are broken and God redeems those and chooses to use those according to His will. Let us all not seek our own righteousness but God's.
