RULES FOR JUDGING

 
Matthew 7:1,2
"Do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (NIV)
 
 
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." (KJV)


What measuring stick do we use to make a judgment about others? If we are honest with ourselves we would have to say we judge others by those very same things that lie within each and every one of our hearts. We are just as capable of the same things we judge in others. So be careful when you judge others. God is searching the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. He will use the same measuring stick to judge us that we use to judge others.


Heavenly Father, we stand in need of Your forgiveness for taking it on ourselves to judge others. When we find ourselves making an opinion about others, help us to stop and remember that we, ourselves are not walking in perfection either. Give us awareness that we are as vulnerable to doing the same irritating, ungodly things we see in others. Search our hearts and help us clean up our own lives. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
