You know, we as sinful and prideful people are so full of ourselves sometimes; we tend towards pointing our fingers at everyone else without seeing the big ol’ log in our own eyes that’s blinding us about the Truth.
As I read the news online, and watch the news at home on tv; well, it’s the same mess. We want to focus on the negativity and gloom and doom of life today instead of seeing all the joys and wonders and miracles that the Lord continues to do for us, even when we SURE don’t deserve it.
And I only have to look as far as a mirrored reflection of my own image to see that same behavior and sinful garbage as well. I thank God that He gave me new life by giving His Life for me on Calvary; I thank Him that He wiped the slate clean from ALL of my past behaviors; from all of my arrogance and pride; and from all of the stupid situations I got myself into at times. It is only through God’s Grace that I am where I am today…and that is proclaiming His Word, and not my own, to His people.
I am so glad that I don’t have to answer to anyone on this earth for my shortcomings, of which there are many. I am glad I am judged by only One, and His Name is God the Father. And, I am glad I have an Intercessor who stands at God’s Right Hand, and His Name is Jesus. No one else can, and will, judge me at the end. And that is how it should be.
So, next time someone points fingers at you, laugh it off and then pray for them…and be reminded that the three fingers pointing back at them could very well be representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit chastising them.
“Judge not, lest ye be judged.” That’s a good lesson all of us need to learn, isn’t it?
