Genesis 26:17-35, 27, Matthew 9:1-17, Psalms 10:16-18, Proverbs 3:9-10
What God said to me – It is so easy to see something and to pass judgment because you think you know what is going on or the way something should be done when you truly don’t have all of the facts. I said to be quick to hear and slow to speak for a reason. I also said not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think but to think so as to have sound judgment. You would save yourself and others a lot of grief and angst if you just stopped and sought Me before you responded or stepped into a situation where you shouldn’t. When the men brought the paralytic to Me, before I healed him, I met his most pressing need. I told him, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.” But the scribes who observed the situation immediately began to judge even though they had no clue who “I AM” or what I came to do. It’s easy to become like the scribes and to judge people who are not like you or who don’t do things the way you think they should be done. Walking with Me is not living by a set of rules that are set in stone. It is walking after Me and ministering as I direct. To be able to do this, you must spend much time with Me so I can teach you and transform you.
