Judge Not

Matthew 7: 1-2

“Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive.”

Have you noticed that when you point one finger at someone, there are three pointing back at you? It’s not good to criticize or blame others  when they are in fault, or not, all you need to do is pray. There is power in prayer and it will go further than your mouth can go. Your mouth will do nothing but make things worse, but sincere prayer changes things. Prayer can make the wrong, right. Prayer can deliver. So don’t judge others, don’t put them down. You must remember that you too are a sinner saved by grace and the same courtesy that was shown to you, you must duplicate even if you were not shown God’s love in your time of need. The word of God doesn’t say do unto others as was done unto you. It says, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Meaning treat people the way you would like to be treated if the circumstance was reversed. If you are around people who are being judgmental, then don’t join in but remind them of these two scriptures in Matthew. Remind them that the best way to rectify the problem is through prayer. God can do what no man can do. He can change lives around. He can make old things pass away and bring in the new with His power and your fervent prayers. Remember His word that says the effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much. Your prayers will not work if you are self righteous. So make sure your heart is right with God, and let Him do what He does best and that is save and restore. 

Be blessed!
