Scripture: Romans 2:1
So every single one of you who judge others is without any excuse. You condemn yourself when you judge another person because the one who is judging is doing the same things.
Thought for the Day: Is it ok to judge people who are judging people? That’s a hard call, for though Jesus (and Paul) was clear about not judging others, it feels as if we need to call out judgement wherever it occurs. Yet after reading Paul, it appears as if he was suggesting that the act of judging others is ultimately self-condemning. Of course, we need to be careful that we never give support or even appear to give support to the judging of others, but in the end, it should not be our place to serve as the judge. With all that said, it is a very difficult line to walk as a Christian.
Prayer: Provide me the wisdom, O God, to know how to represent your nonjudgmental grace without giving the impression that I approve of something hateful or destructive. Amen.
