God’s Word for Today - 06 July 2024
1 Corinthians 4:5 KJV — Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 06 July 2024
Human beings are often very quick to judge and more often than not they get it wrong because they don’t have all the facts upon which to base their judgement. And to make things worse they judge from a position of prejudice and personal agenda. It is saddening that this is not limited to those who do not have a relationship with Jehovah, but that many of those who claim to be followers of Christ are not exempt from this flawed behaviour. But what manner of person should you be? It is imperative that you exercise restraint in judging any matters until you are fully illuminated by the Holy Spirit regarding the truth. Don’t be hasty as fools do, because they rush to judgement without ascertaining the veracity of what they have heard. Let Jehovah guide you and you will be approved of Him.
Pray: Eternal Father, teach me patience and wisdom to judge rightly and receive praise of You. #Mok
