Good morning,
The 40 days of Lent are a good opportunity to dig into the teachings of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount. We can see his vision for the kingdom and are empowered to be formed more fully into his image.
Week 5 Judge Not
- Read ~ Matthew 7 & Romans 14
- Reflect ~ In what circumstances am I critical or who am I most judgmental towards? What does my irritation with someone else tell me about myself? How does examining myself bring about compassion and grace for others? Do I judge others for things I struggle with?
- Practice ~ Notice who incites your judgement or your inner critic. Find a way to bless your target instead. Spend a few minutes in front of the mirror this week looking into your eyes. Ask the Lord to help you notice, to show you where He wants to work on something you are overlooking.
- Prayer ~ Lord, you are the only one just and qualified to judge anyone. Forgive me for assuming the worst of others and forgive when I only have grace for myself. Please make me attentive to what's going on in me before I would ever think to comment on someone else's brokenness. Thank you that I am actually NOT the judge of anyone and that I can offer your grace and your love instead.
