DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Sometimes, we think we have better knowledge of what God commands than others. Worse still we inadvertently erect a standard of expectation for others far beyond what God demands. Some people feel good doing this because they believe they are helping them. But in reality, they are destroying whatever little faith in God others have left.
Such was the effect of the words of Job’s friend, Eliphaz. When he started his speech, he commended Job for all the good and notable things he had done. But soon, he began to hint that there may be need for him to repent from some unknown sins. He urged him to turn to God and be forgiven.
Thereafter, he would begin to prosper greatly; the Almighty shall protect him, and he would delight in God. When he prays, God would hear; whatever he decrees shall be done. God would shine His light on him; lift him up and save him from all his troubles. These are all truths; only that they did not apply to Job and his circumstances. DCLM Daily Manna 6th May 2020 Devotional – Be Slow To Condemn
Many injuries have been inflicted as a result of rash judgments and insinuations that are totally untrue. Some young believers in faith have had to backslide as a result of receiving condemnation from those whose duty it is to make them grounded in faith.
We must ensure at all times that we do not condemn those God has justified. Even when we see people suffering from many adversities, we must not hastily assume that it is because of their sins. Of course, where we see obvious sins, we should encourage them to repent and turn to God. But if they are living as believers, we should assure them of the unfailing promises of God and affirm to them His faithfulness to help His children.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Lift up the hands which hang down and the feeble knees.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 14-17
