A Prayer for Help

Psalm 71 : 1 - 2

In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me and deliver me in your
righteousness;
Turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock of refuge,
To which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Have you been praying hard? Most of us have. God listens. He knows. He is waiting for the right time to grant us our wishes.
I remember a long time ago, I heard someone said ..... "Patience is a strength. To wait is a strategy."
So, in your prayers, always be patient. Be ever ready to receive the answers. God does not disappoint us. Only we, who will disappoint Him.

Judging Others

Matthew 7 : 1-2
"Do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

Do you like to give others a good first impression? The truth is, all of us do. Even children are able to behave well in front of strangers!

As children of God, we are taught not to judge. However, how many of us remember this?

Yet, when you start to count your own blessings, then you will know how blessed you are. This, hopefully will remind you to stop judging others.

I started to recount my blessings years ago. I have already forgotten how to measure others, because I always remind myself ..... that poor and bend beggar could be me. I know how I measure others will always be used against me .... on earth or on Judgement Day.

Only God has the right to judge us. Yet, He has reserved the right to do so. He allows us to repent and gives us many chances to do so. If God has not in any way judged us, what right do we have to judge others?
