Read James 4:11-17
Our tongues are suppose to be instruments of life, but if we slander a person with our conversation then we are judging him and slandering God’s Word which teaches that man is God’s creation. When we judge the Word and don’t follow it then we have put ourselves in the position of a judge. The Bible says that we are not to judge anyone because we will be judged with the same judgement that we give out. So if we speak against someone, we have just opened the door for someone to speak against us. Just because we live in the dispensation of grace does not mean that we won’t reap what we sow. Only God is in the position to judge rightly and not be judged. There is nothing we could judge God about. He alone can save or kill, forgive or judge. We don’t even know what is going to happen tomorrow, but God does. That is why we should plan as he leads us to plan. He does know what tomorrow is going to bring and how to plan for it. Have you ever made plans that deep inside you didn’t think would happen? I have, and they didn’t happen. That is God letting you know his thoughts. Everything we do and all the talents we have are because of Him. We rejoice, not in our own achievements, but in what He has done through us. God will direct our steps and to follow any other way is sin.
Lord, we want you to lead us and judge our lives. Show us what is our plan and what is your plan and may we choose yours.
