Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete it shall be measured to you again.
There are a lot of television shows nowadays which focus our attention squarely on the issue of judging, and apparently the issue has lots of curb appeal, for persons are glued to their TVs, and just cannot seem to get enough of the drama. That’s because human beings like to judge, and persons like to see justice served. This craving for justice has actually spawned a lot of other little judges, in the home, at work, at church, at school, at board meetings, and at the gym, in so much that Planet Fitness was prompted to declare their facilities a “Judgment Free Zone”.
There are times when husbands judge their wives, and often arrive at wrong conclusions and the wives may judge their husbands, wrongfully if things don’t go as expected, or if their gut feeling guides them in one direction. Husbands and wives should be very careful about drawing conclusions, based solely on gut feeling, for many marriages ended up on the rocks, based solely on gut feeling.
Without solid, indisputable proof, we should give the other the benefit of the doubt, even when our gut feelings tug at the heart strings to the contrary. Gut feelings, hunches, premonitions, intuition, and informed guesses, as well as humble opinions are in most cases, not facts, and as such, should be taken with a grain of salt. Humble opinions are just that, humble opinions, for the word opinion refers to a view or judgment formed about something, that is not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
Matthew 7:3 And why do you behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how will you say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
