Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.
Many years ago, I was doing work for a young man who had a set of grills, and tattoos. Whilst there, I would see different cars pulling up, and he would be often seen, going to a little patch of bushes, in front of his home, retrieving something, and handing it to the persons in the car. They would then drive off, as another car would pull up sometime later.
Later on, he gave me a down-payment of $2500.00 in one dollar, five dollar, and ten-dollar bills. I tried hard not draw any conclusions, but my gut feelings were pulling me hard in one direction, based upon the circumstantial evidences, and thus, because we are created with intelligence, we tend to make our assessments based on what we see and feel in the gut. But, just as it was with the first two scenarios, folks must leave some wiggle room, just in case we are wrong.
When I went to the bank to make the deposit, I saw the teller also watching me nervously as I placed a large pile of small bills on the counter, for something seemed fishy. So, just I did with that young man, the tellers most likely had their own gut feelings to grapple with, and thus, judging by drawing conclusions continues. It is not something farfetched we are speaking about; it happens every day, for we’re intelligent beings with the ability to reason, but doing so has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
