Deuteronomy 1:17 CJB

We all need to be careful when it comes to judging people! There is a difference between calling out someone for doing something obviously wrong or sinful and judging to condemn.

And if you’re not sure just give it to the LORD!

“Give Adonai His due, you families from the peoples, give Adonai His due of glory and strength.”

1 Chronicles 16:28 CJB

We all need to be able to call sin, sin, but don’t be accusers! If we are not sure, we need to call on the LORD so He can reveal it! Also, if we are not sure, don’t speak, just pray!

“Adonai is close to all who call on Him, to all who sincerely call on Him.”

Psalm 145:18 CJB

Today, let’s spend more time praying for people, not judging them! We all know there is plenty of sin to point out, so instead of pointing, let’s be praying! Have a blessed day praying to the LORD!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed.”
