Judge Not - Part 1
It has been said that “things are as God sees them, and not as they seem to me.” And John 7:24 says, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” One key aspect of this command to “Judge Not” is that we are not to judge things from our own point of view or preferences, but we are to allow God to bring us into agreement with His perspective.

It has been said that “things are as God sees them, and not as they seem to me.” And John 7:24 says, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” One key aspect of this command to “Judge Not” is that we are not to judge things from our own point of view or preferences, but we are to allow God to bring us into agreement with His perspective.
When we take it on ourselves to cast judgment on others, we are putting ourselves in the place of God. There IS a good and righteous Judge, and it is vital for us to allow Him to re-calibrate our inner sense of justice according to His heart, His Word, and His law. Then He is able to use us to restore those around us.
