NKJV Matthew 7-8

Well its new years eve, and as usual we have no plans. I kind of like that idea because we can make our own and go with the flow, we are not obligated to be somewhere for a certain amount of time etc.


Chapter 7-8
7 - Is full of helpful advice, golden rule, not judging other, and giving what is right. This Chapter will give you all the wonderful sayings we grew up with. I always herd people say them but didn't rightly know their or gin.
8- Finds Jesus healing a man with Leprosy and Peters mother of her fever. Jesus and his disciples were traveling by boat, a awful storm came up and started to rock the boat. The men awoke Jesus and told him they were about to drown, he stated "You of little faith, who are you so afraid" and he calmed the storm with his hands.

S.O.A.P.

Scripture
Matthew 7:1-2
Do not Judge; or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Observation
For if you judge you will be judged the same way with the same intensity.

Application
Its so hard not to judge, we all do it especially women. "Oh what was she thinking with that outfit" or "did you see her hair" and most commonly with women we see an unsavory character and we clutch our purse a little tighter, we pay attention a little more. Now while that can save your life or even help a stranger we tend to do it when no threat is evident.

Prayer
Dear Lord,

I do not judge as often as other, but in saying that I am judging! Go figure! I ask that you help me not to Judge and you know I do...more often then I want to admit!  I ask for forgiveness for my sins and for my judging! I also ask that you be there for Ann, Kim and D and all of my friends and family as we enter this new year. I ask that we keep our resolutions and achieve our goals. Help us not to quit!

Amen
