Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver who is able to save and destroy. Who are you to judge another. James 4:11-12

As the race continues for the Presidential election, we hear more and more bad news coming from each candidate about their opponent.  It seems if they can dig up more "dirt" on the other person, they will win people's vote. Unfortunately this is the norm for political elections. 

Do you ever feel like a politician? Does it seem like everyone wants to know your business and they talk about you behind your back? Sadly, it's probably true. We live in a world so full of pride and everyone competing against one another. If we can make someone else look bad by judging them....we in turn try to make ourselves out to be the better person. God help us as Christians. We are all guilty of this sin. 

As a child of God, we have one relationship that matters....God. Nothing we do here on earth is worthy of anything....as the following passage states..."but we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags...Isaiah 64:6. If you think you are better than someone else or holier than others...friend you are lost in your selfish pride and God considers your attitude a sin. 

We do not know what's going on in the lives of others. God has specific plans for each of us and as His children we should follow His prompting with full obedience. What you see someone doing might be the will of God...or God is using a someone's wrongful actions as part of His plan to draw them close to Him once this person acknowledges their sinful ways. Everyday is planned by God in each believer. You are not worthy of judging others...when you do,  you judge God's plan. He will hold you accountable for the negative things you say against a fellow Child of God. 

Mind your own business and focus on God...not others. Pray for other believers and encourage them...don't tear them down. Together we can love one another unconditionally as Christ loves us. Live in harmony with our Savior and His children. Together we can show the world the love of God to a godless society. Blessings my friend.
