Prayer – Lord, help us to not judge others…at least not before You return. It is You Yourself who will judge me…and others. You see our inward hearts…and know our deepest, darkest secrets…our private motives. Show us the truths that You want us to understand…and help us to have a good relationship with You.
Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must
be faithful. As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you
or by any human authority. I don't even trust my own judgment on this point. My
conscience is clear, but that doesn't prove I'm right. It is the Lord himself
who will examine me and decide. So don't make judgments about anyone ahead of
time—before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light
and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever
praise is due. 1 Corinthians 4:2-5
Meditate. Consider judgment.
It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide.
He will decide…He will judge me. Even now He knows my inner most thoughts and
motives. 
The day is done....
Let us rest as God did on the seventh day.
I am so tired.
Let me rest.
So there is a
special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into
God's rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the
world. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the
people of Israel did, we will fall. For the word of God is alive and powerful.
It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and
spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and
desires. Hebrews 4:9-12
So, rest now…just as God did on the day that He finished
creation. Make choices that will please God. Those choices will likely reveal
your inner most thoughts and influence your actions.
Verse of Salvation ~ For God loved the world so much
that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will
not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge
the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
