READ:

Read or listen to Matthew 7:1-6.

Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use. Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye. Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

The written Scripture is CSB, however, the audio Scripture is ESV.

FOCUS:

Why must we guard against judging others?

PRAY:

God rescues us for a purpose. Not only do we glorify him as we follow Jesus, but we also participate in his work of salvation as witnesses to his work. Ask God to increase your awareness of opportunities around you to share Christ with others.
