Work in Progress

June 21, 2010

Matthew 7:1-6

Inspired thots:

1) Judgment is a SURETY in a Christian’s life. Just as sure as the hope I have in Christ, judgment looms as big.

2) I am still working on my own attitude, not to judge and not to be condescending. I know what I need to do and yet, I do not do it at times; exactly how Paul lamented in Romans 7:14-20. I am still struggling within to be what “God wants me to be and do”. Thank God for starting His redemptive work in me.

3) Now, I strive to be “quick to listen and slow to anger” to help myself not be judgmental. I need to stay alert to my feelings so that I do not allow ‘anger, frustration and dissatisfaction’ to arise within. I need to check my feelings before the Lord to keep them in proper perspective and compartment, so that I do not fall prey to being judgmental, for I am NOT better than any other. I know that it true. I am just a sinner forgiven by God, who has lots to be transformed. And God is not finished with me yet.

4) One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Isa 55:8,9…let God deal with the actual situation or person instead of me. Not to my benefit to be riled up by anything or anyone!
