Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-22

Matthew 7:1-2 (NKJV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Judging or finding fault with others is a big thing with Christians, and it can become a problem.

We have not become perfect and without fault just because we have become a Christian.

We still sin and we still have many things to work on. We struggle with our weaknesses. They tend to show up and remind us of this every now and then.

So, why do we point out the faults of others and ignore our own?

Most times it is because we are trying to feel better about ourselves. We don’t want to have to deal with our own sins, so if we can find someone with what we would call a “more obvious or worse sin” we tend to point it out. It is a huge distraction for most of us.

We need to get our eyes off of others and pay attention to our own sin that needs dealing with.

Some of us our dealing with things that have been with us since our childhood.

Some of us our dealing with things that have happened while we were under some sort of abusive situation.

And others are dealing with sinful addictions that we have learned to hide very well, etc.

We all have our own faults/sins, so pointing out the sins of others, and talking about it, will not take God’s eyes off of ours. Let us deal with our own faults and pray for others that need a change of heart as well.

God is faithful to help us remain humble in our hearts while listening and watching others that need help in their walk as well as us.

Finding fault and judging won’t get us anywhere but in trouble.

Job 6:24 (NKJV) 24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
