Monday, February 24 – Boomerang Judgments



Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.  2 For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. –Matthew 7:1-2 (NRSV)
I’ve not always had the best of luck in making a boomerang do what it’s supposed to do...come back to you.  But when you throw it, it’s best to keep your eyes open and follow what you just let go of!
If we are to believe Jesus, judgments have a better record of return than boomerangs.  They have a way of returning to you with an accuracy no boomerang has been known to achieve.
So be careful when tempted to comment about someone else.  Do you want the same scrutiny, critical eye, or judgment of you?  Heads!
Lord Jesus, s-l-o-w me down when I’m tempted to rush to judgment.  Guard my mind & mouth with grace and mercy.
