SOAP: I don’t know the whole story

June 23, 2009

Scripture: 1 Timothy 5: 24-25

24Remember that some people lead sinful lives, and everyone knows they will be judged. But there are others whose sin will not be revealed until later. 25In the same way, everyone knows how much good some people do, but there are others whose good deeds won’t be known until later.

Observation: You can’t be sure of anyone’s level or sin or good deeds. All will be revealed later, though.

Application: Don’t judge others. You may not know the whole story.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for loving all of us, in our good deeds and bad.

Guide me to not judge others by their behavior, but remember that your love and forgiveness overcomes everything. Guide me in showing your love to those around me. Please remind me of your word and stop me when I judge.

Even righteous suffer look at Job. All his friends kept telling him that he must have done something wrong.
