“Therefore thou art inexcusable,

O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:

for wherein thou judgest another,

thou condemnest thyself;

for thou that judgest

doest the same things.”

Romans 2:1

.

.

.

.

.

I AM GUILTY OF THE SAME!

.

There’s a whole lot of finger-pointing going on these days, wouldn’t you agree?

.

Well, today’s devotional is still attempting to further bring out this concept, that at whatever point we judge another, we are guilty of the same.

.

Listen again…“Therefore thou art inexcusable,

O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:

for wherein thou judgest another,

thou condemnest thyself;

for thou that judgest doest the same things.”

Romans 2:1

.

Yes, the Bible forewarns us that when we point the accusing finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at us: THREE FINGERS FROM HEAVEN!

The Mockers of the Airwaves

.

For those of us so-called Christians who have foolishly allowed ourselves to become entranced with, and captive to the daily political wranglings, via Television, Internet, and radio…

.

…we have unwittingly allowed this “Prince of the Power of the Air” to fill our hearts with his poisonous venom which he spews out on a 24/7/365 basis!

.

But the Bible warns us…“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1st Corinthians 15:33

.

Yes, when we allow our soul-temple to be defiled with “evil communications”, it pollutes our heart and mind and impacts our speech and conduct in everyday matters!

.

Thus, our lackadaisical indiscretion results in our unchristlikeness and makes us unable to “Purify [ourselves] even as He (Christ) is pure“, nor to “walk even as He (Jesus) walked” (See 1st John 2:6 & 3:3)

.

SATAN STEALS OUR PERFECT PEACE

.

One great problem with listening to Satan’s whisperings, is that this is how this “Accuser of our brethren” gains access into our hearts and minds (see Revelation 12:10).

.

And once we allow him access, he often begins to torment us with all sorts of “evil surmisings” about the motives of the hearts of others. (1st Timothy 6:4) 

.

We must remember the Wise Man’s advice…

…”Keep thy heart with all diligence;

for out of it are the issues of life. 

Put away from thee a froward mouth,

and perverse lips put far from thee.

Let thine eyes look right on,

and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Ponder the path of thy feet,

and let all thy ways be established.

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:

remove thy foot from evil.”

Proverbs 4:24-27

.

Yes, to guard the avenues to the soul, not allowing Satan any access, is our first and foremost duty!

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

THREE FACES IN THE MOON

.

You see, God has inscribed three faces in the Moon, and this first face is that of a man (picture right).

.

The other two faces are that of animals: beasts, if you will.

.  

And while one of the other two faces is that of a fierce predator, and the other, a forest forager, this 1st face (picture right) is of a very sympathetic-looking human, even just a bit sad, and even just a bit more horror-stricken.

SHOCK AND SADNESS

.

Just look at this Watchman’s sad-looking eyes!

.

And yet with a dropped-jaw expression, he looks rather shocked!

.

But who wouldn’t be shocked, looking down on this tragic and horrible and selfish world!

.

After all, just think of all that this Watchman sees in the night!

.

Murders and beatings, kidnappings and slave-tradings, drugs and alcohol dependencies, inhumanity and indifferent unsympathetic disregard, racism and bigotry, lust and perversions, thefts and hoarding, imprisonment and torture, sickness and suffering, destruction and death!
