Judged of No Man

Thought for the Day
1 Corinthians 2:15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

So many times as followers of Jesus Christ our actions and even motives can be called into question. It is frustrating and often painful to be "mis" judged by others. But when we are walking in the Spirit and seeking to be led by God, we have His promise of "divine discernment". Spiritual decisions may be called into question, but that is only because others may not have the spiritual insight needed to properly "judge." We must always remember, "If we please the Lord, it does not matter whom we displease."

Application
If you are facing unfair judgment, continue to yield your heart and motives to the Lord. One of the hardest lessons in life to learn is to allow the Lord to be your judge. Often it is the struggle we face that proves the potential of our actions.
