The singer

““Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye?”Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Last night I accompanied a friend to a country music concert at my church. It was not my interest, however, she enjoyed it. When you don’t enjoy something you can pick at what you think is wrong with it, praise God I refrained. Many present enjoyed the show, did not talk while he was singing and readily applauded. At the end my pastor took around the man’s hat and I went to give a smaller denomination but God said, “be generous”, so I was. I knew it would be a hard life depending on the generousity of others.

If I judged the man I could be very wrong. The Lord had not showed me anything about the man and so judgement would be carnal. I therefore would need to extract the log out of my eye. The log would be called self-righteousness and bigotry. Yes we can be susceptible to these.

Instead I can pray for the man and his wife. Much better use of my time! Amen!
