Luke 6:37-38 (NKJV) 37 \u201cJudge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is it that will be measured<\/strong><\/i> back to us?<\/p>\n

The same measure that we use when judging others, condemning them, and\/or forgiving them, will come back to us based on what we give out.<\/p>\n

Maybe today we walk around thinking it’s OK to judge others based on our own opinions. We feel like it\u2019s our job.<\/p>\n

But it isn\u2019t up to us to judge someone\u2019s actions based on what we <\/i>think. It is up to us to judge ourselves and our own actions first. Only then can we judge others in a righteous and just manner.<\/p>\n

When we learn that we are not the <\/i>Judge, it causes us to be able to focus on what God is saying and showing us about our own lives. We are not in people’s business so much.<\/p>\n

You see, paying constant attention to others and what they are doing, while failing to pay attention to ourselves, is a distraction in our walk with God.<\/p>\n

It keeps us in a constantly distracted state of mind.<\/p>\n

As I pondered this scripture, I prayed for God to help us to build our character in this area, that we would see and interact with others without condemnation, and that through our obedience in walking this out, they would see Christ in us in a powerful way.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
