Do Not Judge - James 4:12

“There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?” – James 4:12

 

Every believer has a unique calling and role to play in God’s Kingdom. We are all fighting different kind of battles.

Look at the life and character of Samson. He was impulsive, spoilt, demanding, arrogant, and lacking in judgment. He showed no hint of kindness or love nor displayed any evidence of a life stirred by the Spirit. He was actually cruel and vindictive, incapable of discernment and immune to advice.

Yet, Samson was consecrated for God’s use to defeat an enemy and bring down an entire government. His epitaph read, “He killed many more when he died than while he lived.” Isn’t that what he was set apart to do?”

The wisdom from a man of God who wrote:- “If you are afraid of reading about those who later fell into sin and deception (some of these people ended in disaster, stay away from Gideon, Samson, Solomon's proverb, and the Song of Solomon). The author of those books also ended in tragedy. We must learn to eat the meat and throw away the bones.”

 

Many of us are loose and careless with our mouth, unknowingly criticizing God's work. We judge, slander, criticize and discredit men whom God has called and anointed.

 

Would you buy a house if you were only allowed to see one of its room? Would you purchase a car if you were permitted to see only its tires or a tail-light? Would you pass judgment on a book after reading only a paragraph?

 

Nor would I? So, before we judge the life, past or character of the person, walk in his shoes, walk the path that the person has traveled. Live his sorrow, his doubts, his fear, his pain and his joy.

 

Remember - Everyone has a story. When we have lived the life of the person, only then can we judge the person.
