Get out of the judgment seat!

"You will be judged in the same way that you judge others." Matthew 7:12
The following comes from my Max Lucado devotion book "Grace for the Moment" & it was the devotion for today which really spoke to me. I hope it speaks to you as well.
"We condemn a man for stumbling this morning, but we didn't see the blows he took yesterday. We judge a woman for the limp in her walk, but can not see the tack in her shoe. We mock the fear in their eyes, but have no idea how many stones they have ducked or darts they have dodged.
Are they too loud? Perhaps they fear being neglected again. Are they too timid? Perhaps they fear failing again. Too slow? Perhaps they fell the last time they hurried. You don't know. Only one who has followed yesterday's steps can be their judge.
Not only are we ignorant about yesterday, we are ignorant about tomorrow. Dare we judge a book while chapters are yet unwritten? Should we pass a verdict on a painting while the artist still holds the brush? How can you dimiss a soul until God's work is complete?"
"God began doing a good work in you, & I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again." Phillipians 1:6

I would appreciate any & all prayers for Randy & I right now. I can't go into specifics but we need to stay focused on the Lord & hear Him speak to us clearly & do His will.
