Romans 14: 10 So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For the Scriptures say, “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,‘every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.’”12 Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. 13 So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.
I think about how often we... all of us.. me... look at someone and determine what is right or wrong in their life... what they should be doing compared to what they are doing... we don't want anyone telling us what we should be doing but yet we are so quick to try and tell someone else what is right for them....
verse 4 says who are you to comdemn someone else's servant... meaning.. they are a servant of God... not of you... and we will ALL stand before God and give account for what we have or have not done... so why do we think we are big enough to condemn someone else...
yet we do it daily.... we condemn them for the way they dress.. the way they talk... the way they live... what they eat or don't eat... what they drink or don't drink.. what they smoke... we are so quick to see all that is unclean with someone else.. yet we cannot see anything within ourselves...
Lord teach me to be concerned with my own walk with you... to help others as best I can.. and to not try to determine what someone else should or should not be doing.. keep me in my own lane.. in Jesus name I ask. amen.amen.amen.
