Some of you may have a cat at home. They are interesting creatures, but one of the things that strikes me about them is their lightning-fast reaction. It’s fascinating how quick they can be.
It reminds me of how fast we judge others. Have you ever noticed that we can see a person or a circumstance and form an evaluation in our minds before we’ve taken our next breath? Come to think of it: judging others is as natural to us as breathing.
One year my daughter-in-law gave me a T-shirt with just one word on the front in big, bright letters: WINE. I decided to wear it under a blazer to a Bible Study I was teaching. A few minutes into the lesson, I casually removed the jacket. You could almost feel the air get sucked out of the room. Then, I turned so they could see the back which read, “The First Miracle John 2”.
The plain truth is that none of us is equipped to judge anyone else because we don’t have all the facts. Only God does.
So, next time you catch yourself making an instant evaluation of someone, use that cat-like speed to remind yourself, it’s not your job!
“But, God is the Judge…” (Psalm 75:7)
This is what I need reminded of often! Thank you Teri👍
Who are we to judge others, O LORD have mercy on me a sinner!
What a great reminder. Thanks
Thankful for His grace and need my catlike reflexes to extend grace to others!
Judging another person does not define who they are, it defines who you are.
Ps. 50:6b “God Himself is judge!”
Uhmmm. Thanks for the reminder of the ease of such, T.
What a vivid example of how fast we are to judge. I hope I recall this before I attempt to judge anyone or anything. Thanks for the reminder
