Judging Your Judgment

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?—Matthew 7:1-3

Judgments are good to make. God wants us to make judgments about good and evil, right and wrong, and holy and unholiness. It's just the basis with which we do it that we must be handled with care. For there is something devious within a man. There is a way in which you do it and say it that can be mismeasured against others because we measure ourselves differently. So today, before making another judgment, weigh your reason and the character with which you act and judge yourself getting the log out of your eye first, and notice that how you judge will change.

DO THIS: Take care of that massive tree in your eye that's affecting your judgments.

PRAY THIS: God, forgive me for being negative and judgmental. Soften my judgmentalism of others and help me to make judgments that are fair, right, good, and holy today in your sight.
