Luke 18:9-17.  Tony van Drimmelen.  Could there be areas in our lives where do we fail to depend on God or recognize His grace to us?  One of the ways you can tell is if you are holding back on sharing that grace with others.  When we do, we are depending on self-made idols for our significance and security.  We may not say it, but in practice we try to be our own gods!  The two men in this parable both believe in God.  Only one is justified before God the other is lost.  The spiritually humble man receives mercy while the proud man believes he can earn it.  To the degree we are humbled by our own unworthiness in the light of God’s abundant grace, to that degree we will we be able to share all we have and all we are to those around us.
