John 7:24 (NKJV) 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
When we judge, we tend to do so by looking at the outward appearance of a person.
But righteous judgement comes from spiritual discernment based on truth and God’s wisdom.
We must let the Holy Spirit guide us in discerning situations or people.
There have been times when God has shown me things about a person’s heart, and I didn’t want to believe it. It hurt when He showed me this particular truth. I couldn’t have ever known it on my own.
We have to trust His guidance. I have repented at times for not wanting to believe, or for questioning what He was showing me regarding certain things about people. If we want the truth, He will not hold back if it is something that can hurt us.
He will protect us. And when He shows us things, it’s not for us to look down our nose at anyone. Most times it is simply to be aware of it and pray for the person or the situation.
His judgement is righteous. Use Spiritual discernment. He will guide us in all truth, especially in making the right decisions at times.
John 16:13 (NKJV) 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
Amen.
