He Knows

Week 11 Day 1.5

1 Corinthians 4

1 Cor. 4:4-5

My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. ⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. 

// THOUGHTS:

Even in the clearest of conscience (as far as we know) of our heart, lives, and minds, we still cannot completely say that we are innocent.  Only the Lord knows the inmost motives of our being.  Therefore, we must leave up all the judging to God.

Free ourselves from assumptions of people as well as our assumptions towards people and allow God to take care of what needs to be exposed in the light that has been hidden in the dark.

// BELLE:

On my end, the Lord knows what's in my heart and therefore, I must keep on living for Him no matter what the cost and trust that His judgment towards me is right, just and fair.  As far as people judging me, I must leave that all up to God because they cannot see all sides of things.  On my side of making assumptions of people, I must leave that up to God as well - Who knows all things and will bring to light what is hidden in the dark.  Live for Him and Trust in Him - that's all I must do.


// LORD, thank you for You are sovereign in all things.  I praise You because You know my inmost heart, mind, and being - You are able to judge all things in me that no man in this world can ever judge.  I pray that You prepare me for what is coming ahead of me - the judgments and assumptions that people may have.  I know that You will empower me to do what is godly and what pleases You.  I lift up everything to You and please just take care of me.  In Jesus' name, amen.
