“You are not to show favoritism when judging, but give equal attention to the small and to the great. No matter how a person presents himself, don’t be afraid of him; because the decision is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, bring to Me and I will hear it.”

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.”

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

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.”

“And then, whoever calls on the name of Adonai will be saved.”

Acts 2:21 CJB

When we realize how much the LORD loves us, it should lead us to want to return that love. How? By simply just following Him and not letting Him go!

“You are to obey My rulings and laws and live accordingly; I am Adonai your God.”

We always seem to get into trouble when we do our own thing, whatever that may be! Then we end up calling out to the LORD, fix my mess, bless my mess or here is the best one if you get me out of this one I’ll never do ___ again! Does this sound familiar?

“If you love Me, you will keep My commands!”

John 14:15 CJB
