JUDGE FAIRLY

Change the way you treat others before you question the way God treats you.

God knows what poor judges we are,so He asks us not to judge. He also knows we can't help judging others, so He has intensified His request by reminding us that we will be judged according to how we judge others. Ouch. Now He's getting personal.

God has a right to do this, of course, and we have no right to do this of course, and we have no right to question Him and how He does things (Isa 55:8). But neither should we think He isn't being fair. God is incapable of being anything but fair. Everything He does in for our own good. In this matter of judging and being judged, what God is essentially asking us to do is put ourselves in the other person's shoes.Just like we don't want to be judged unfairly, we shouldn't judge others unfairly. And if we do, we can expect unfair judgment to come our way.

"stop judging others, and you will not be judged . For others will treat you as you treat them."

MATTHEW 7:1-2
