Judging Ourselves!

I Corinthians 11:31 says, "For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged." That we can escape the critical judgment of God by simply judging ourselves is one of God's wonderful blessings to all of us who know him. The question is are we doing it? To be a growing disciple of the Lord we must be our own greatest judge. We must hear the word of the Lord against ourselves. Our ears will stay open to whomever God sends to us if we judge ourselves. It often appears that many folks have ceased growing because they have a much greater opinion of themselves than they should. None of us are above receiving correction and we should be open to it. Humbling ourselves before the Lord is a righteous act for each of us to do.
