Week 6: A Composite of Peculiar Patience, Day 3: Lest You Be Judged

Today's Treasure: "Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister." Romans 14:13

Six Reasons we must not judge others
1. When we judge others, we cause God to be harder on us
2. We do many of the same things we condemn in others
3. We do not know the whole truth
4. We are mere humans
5. When we judge others, we are judging God
6. God's judgment is always righteous. Ours is tainted by the flesh

Matthew 7:1-6, "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. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."

Lord help me not to condemn others. Expose me in every area where I am judgmental.
