HERE COME DE JUDGE
I Corinthians 4:3-5
"But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I know nothing before the time when the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the heart. Then each one's praise will come from God."
When I was a kid (before television), I used to listen to a radio program, "The Shadow." The program always began with the intro, "Who know what evil lurks within the heart of man? The Shadow knows! [Evil laugh.]" Other people may make judgments about me and my motives, both good and bad, but they don't really know what is deep inside. In fact, even when I judge myself, I don't know what evil lurks within my heart because I see myself through rose-colored glasses. But Jesus knows. He knows the good, the bad and the ugly. I am comforted by the fact that I am clothed in His righteousness. I do not have to fear His judgment, because He will manifest whatever is praiseworthy and cover the rest with His blood.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Human judgments are not always accurate; Jesus always sees things as they truly are.
Have a comforted day. Love you.
